<p><strong>CB INSTALL</strong></p>
<p></p>
<p>Used <a href="http://www.fjcruiserforums.com/forums/stereo-electronics-electrical/7685-cobra-75-wxst-bandi-mount-install-34.html#post2066378" target="_blank">this thread</a> for CB install.</p>
<p>Some lessons learned:</p>
<ul>
<li>Bandi nut is a little tricky to get on. Make sure you are in a well lit area and be prepared to have your patience tested. I ultimately had to buy new, smaller wrenches (narrower) so I could turn the bolt.</li>
<li>Bandi doesn't naturally co-exist with <a href="http://www.fjcruiser-accessories.com/.sc/ms/cat/FJ%20Cruiser%20Rear%20Trim" target="_blank">rear light guard</a>. I had to modify (cut and paint) the rear light guard. Pretty easy with my Ryobi multi-tool and a can of Rustoleum.</li>
<li>Cleanest install is to take the antenna cable straight down from Bandi to the rubber boot ***ON*** THE REAR DOOR, and then feed cable up through boot, through the grommet on the truck body, and into jack compartment</li>
<li>routing wire from jack compartment to kick boards - shine a light into jack compartment, remove kick boards, unsnap rear driver side panel (one snap will do it), and push coat hanger through to the light.</li>
<li>easy to route cable under rubber flooring to center console. coat hanger, again - this time ran it from door to center console. used a pair of needle nose to fish it up. **this is how you avoid drilling!**</li>
<li>SWR tuning instructions say to turn it a quarter turn each time - that's good advice. :-), even if you have a massively high original reading (Read: don't over-adjust the antenna, or else you'll be in and out of the car about 94 times)</li>
<li>Supplied (w/ CB) rubber grommet in center console is really tough to get in. I tried a flat head screwdriver to get it set, but cut right through it... I ultimately used the round/"ball" end of an allen wrench. I do not think I will be taking the CB off too much b/c I don't trust that grommet. Very flimsy.</li>
<li>worth installing a 12v outlet in the center console first. I recommend the 12v outlet on right (more likely to be used by passenger) and CB on left (more likely to be used by driver) - so opposite of the original poster's setup.</li>
<li>the CB box then needs to be installed on the left (b/c of the length of the cable that connects to the CB radio). It fits perfectly behind the parking/e- brake. Instead of relying on mounting tape, which I think generally bites bone, I drove two screws through the center console wall to hold the box in place. They are low - below the seat's height - so they are invisible and more stable. Only screwed in the bottom as top of box actually nestles in snugly at the top.</li>
<li>great reception on weather stations, but haven't found much traffic on channels 1-40 (around town), which is disappointing and strikes me as a little weird... if my SWR didn't work, I'd think I fouled up the install. :-)</li>
<li>Couple pictures below</li>
</ul>

<p><strong>110V OUTLETS </strong></p>
<p>...And then finished the 110V outlet install. It's pretty good - these pics make things look just a bit more scratched up than they are. Not quite that "factory" look (one outlet is just slightly crooked, courtesy of my exacto knife cuts which were not so exacto).</p>
<p>Used <a href="http://www.fjcruiserforums.com/forums/stereo-electronics-electrical/16823-400w-inverter-installation.html" target="_blank">this thread</a>, and here are the insights:</p>
<ul>
<li>Ran 10 AWG from battery to jack compartment (through firewall grommet, under kick boards, behind rear driver side panel & into jack compartment)</li>
<li style="list-style: none; display: inline"><ul>
<li>Chose 10 AWG b/c of distance and relationship to resistance and heat. Used <a href="http://www.rbeelectronics.com/wtable.htm" target="_blank">these tables</a>.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><a href="http://www.walmart.com/ip/Stanley-500-Watt-Power-Inverter/14560013" target="_blank">Stanley 500W inverter</a>, mounted on wood and velcroed down in jack compartment (Fuse holder mounted on top of inverter)</li>
<li><a href="http://www.hifisoundconnection.com/Kicker-09FHA-Car-Audio-Inline-ANL-1-0GA-or-4GA-Input-Output-Fuse-Holder" target="_blank">Kicker inline fuse holder</a> and 60A fuse</li>
<li>Grounded outlets and inverter in jack compartment</li>
<li>Cut holes and popped inverter outlets (which I'd previously removed) into panel above wheel well/top of jack compartment</li>
<li>Installed supplied yellow rubber outlet covers</li>
<li>Picture below</li>

I was kinda looking at the Cobra 75 WXST and Midland 75-822., not sure. I'm going to the FJ Summit and with a month out I would like to get something installed. Just wondering if there was a buy and install place for CB'S here in the Bay:)

Sigh..... I hate to do this, but times are tough. Need some extra cash. I have a near brand new set of Toyo Mud terrain tires. 295/70R17. mounted on some black Devino 17" rims. one rim has a little bit of trail rash, but nothing serious. Also have a 5th rim mounted on a 33" Dean SXT mud terrain. Both are new used as a spare. Never seen the road.<br />
<br />
the 4 tires alone cost $1400. Asking $1350 for all 5 rims and tires. Or $1200 plus your stock alloy rims and tires.<br />
<br />
Also have a Cobra 75WST CB radio.…

I have just bought a Midland CB radio for on/off road communication use (and emergency use). Can someone tell me which channels are used for what communications? I know about channel 9, but I'm confused as to how you use the rest. Do I go to one channel first or just keep scanning until I find someone in my area? Then do you have to move to another channel to talk? Help please.
