LMTV - CB Install Complete and Tuned

[Overdrive]

Finished installing my CB setup and tuned with SWR meter.



Control box installed under the driver seat. Fabricated a plate to cover the original military antenna hole mount.

CB: Cobra WXST with Firestik 2' antenna and Firestik fire ring 18' cable.

For some reason it feels like the LMTV is legit for the road now

Your truck looks awesome. I plan on installing a CB in mine in the future. I am not a mechanic nor an electrician however I am enjoying learning how to wrench on the big training aid. How did you wire the radio to the truck. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks Bobcat701

I installed a little 6 port 12v fuse box under the PDP down below and to the right of the CTIS box. I just ran 12v power from there back to the CB control box and also added a 12V outlet behind the passenger seat down low in front of the storage box so I can power my ARB fridge sitting on top of the box. All my 12v accessories are ran off that little fuse panel I added so I didn't have to hack into the truck wiring. Sourced the power from the 12V stud on the power panel and added a ground bus bar as well.
