Title: me and trons dont get along
Post by: Swagger on February 16, 2009, 12:18:35 AM: HEY averybody or anybody, i got me a CB a couple of weeks ago. I dont have a clue where to or even how to wire this thing in. Fact is, I kinda started to almost try once. And then i looked at the back of the fuse block and cowered away with my tail between my legs. wires and crap scare me because i have no clue what to do when it comes to anything elecrtical. HELP!!! :-\

you can get a plug from radio shack that goes into the cig lighter. then you'll be all set.

Maybe we can get a few of us together one night and knock it out. I also have a SWR meter for tuning the antenae once it gets hooked up.

I'm not sure if I said it right as I'm not one to work on electronics but I did do my own and its been working for abut a year now and I havent shorted out the Jeep.
