I found this CB radio in my grandmas garage. 3 Questions

1) is it a decent CB radio? (radioshack)

2) is there an easy way to run the wire from the roof in tho the cab?

3) an easy way for a direct wiring?

How long is the wire? I ran mine under the seat under the back seat and out the hatch!

can't really tell what kind it is from the pic. Its a magnet mount so thats easy. You can just run the wire under the trim inside your X if its fits in there. looks kinda big. Run the power and ground straight to the battery and you'll be fine. Just don't forget to turn it off though. This is how i ran mine.

its some kind of thing from radio shack i think its like 7 years old or older

the antenna is more important than the radio itself. Since nothing has really changed in CB tech you should be in pretty good shape.

How big is it? I could not realy tell fome the pic.

its 6 1/2 x 4 1/2 LxW my truck is currently 180 miles away from me :( so i cant see if anything fits but the antenna is about 1 1/2 feet but it is magnetic so i can put it anywhere on the truck

If your getting this for free take it... WE can help you make it work!

Hahah free is always better :D

heres a better view of the front if u want more pic for more info let me know

The antenna wire can be run from the roof, Down the channel by the rear hatch, in between the taillight and the body, and through the taillight wireing gromet, than from behind the rear plastic pannel under the carpet to where ever you want it to go. There was a wright up on it on one of the Xterra forums. Don't know if it's on this one though.

mine goes through the roof, kept coax as far frm anything as possible. if anything dude u can just get a new anteanna and tune that. good luck!
