Re: Can 31's fit on a 2008 xl stock suspension?

Re: CB radio dual whip antenna size

Ok, I have all my stuff. Had to settle for 4' antennas because that's all the truck stop had. One question about wiring I had is, will the cb and am/fm coax cables interfere at all or can they be run...

Re: CB radio dual whip antenna size

Just measured it and it seems like 5' would be tall enough, but still able to go through a drive through. Now when I think about it 7' ones would look ridiculous on a little ranger, lol.

Re: CB radio dual whip antenna size

Re: CB radio mounting for a manual transmission

Question CB radio mounting for a manual transmission

Im getting a cb radio soon (probably a Cobra 29) and can't figure out where to mount it at. It's a 2008 XL with a 5 speed. I don't think the cubby hole below the radio will work because of the...
