Model / SKU: FJ Cruiser Kit + iKit
Recommended for: FJ Cruiser owners who need a durable, long-lasting CB system that is quick and easy to install.
Radio: This kit is built around the President Bill II AM/FM CB radio, an ideal unit for off-road vehicle owners who need an ultra compact CB. Antenna attachment, power wiring and external speaker hookup all run through a small mounting box that can be tucked away for a clean installation. The radio includes NOAA weather, channel scanning, 6-pin mic, and "U" mounting bracket.
Antenna:
The kit provides two antenna options:
- Firestik FS: The Firestik FS series is the most popular fiberglass CB antenna on the market today. It doesn't offer the flexibility of the Wilson Flex, but it does provide significantly better transmit and receive performance. Also, you can add a CB spring to the antenna and mount to provide limited flexibility if desired. If optimal range is most important, the Firestik FS antenna is a better choice than the Wilson Flex.
- Wilson Flex: On the trail, it's convenient to have an antenna that can survive getting snagged, bent, bowed and abused. Subsequently, we picked an antenna that can bend 180 degrees without breaking: the Wilson Flex. These 4' antennas provide superior protection against snapping and hold up well to the rigors of off-road use. While flexible, they don't offer the same level of transmit and receive performance that a traditional fiberglass antenna like the Firestik FS does. If flexibility is most important -- and long-range communication isn't crucial -- the Flex is a good choice.
Mounting Hardware:
Included in the kit is the FJ Cruiser Bandi mount. This mount attaches to the rear hinge on the FJ and includes all necessary mounting hardware. Please see the link below for more mounting details.
Additional Information:
This kit also includes an SWR meter and External Speaker.
- External Speaker: The Cobra's small speaker can occasionally be difficult to hear, especially over the roar of a revving FJ Cruiser. That's why we include a compact external speaker to ensure clear communication in noisy environments. The speaker comes with a mounting bracket for easy installation anywhere in the vehicle cab. Note: Speaker may differ slightly from picture.
- SWR Meter & Jumper: Every kit includes an SWR meter and coax jumper to tune your antenna for optimal performance. If you're not familiar with the tuning process, you can read why it's important and how to do it properly at the CB Resources page.
