Owners of CJ, YJ, and Wrangler Jeeps know that space is at a premium. Even the four door JK is limited when it comes to dash space. Right Channel Radios, a CB Radio and Antenna Shop, offers two Jeep CB Kits assembled for Jeep owners that can make the most of the limited space. The radio we installed for the jeepfan.com JK was the Uniden Pro 510XL. This compact CB is an excellent choice for Jeepers looking for a quality CB that takes up a minimal amount of room.
The Kit
The Right Channel Radios kit contains:
- Uniden Pro 510XL CB
- 3′ or 4′ Wilson FLEX Antenna
- 3 Mounting Options: 3-Way Vertical
- Surface & Mirror Kit or
- Jeep Wrangler Hood Kit or
- Universal Hood & Channel Kit
- Standard SWR Meter and Jumper Cable
What we changed…
Looking for a cleaner antenna installation we chose a TeraFlex JK Wrangler antenna mount. This mount provides a clean installation directly to the rear tire carrier on the JK.
CB Installation
Although the JK is the largest of the Wrangler series there still is limited installation space. A nice area is below the glove box on the passenger side. Using two self tapping screws we mounted the CB bracket to the plastic part of the dash and attached the CB.
We also modified the CB’s power cord by adding a cigarette lighter plug and fuse to allow the CB to be removed easily. After installing the antenna and running the cable the SWR was adjusted and the CB was ready for use.
