How many of us are CB'er's?

[JeepBountyHunter]

I miss the CB in my last J Truck..I'm guessing Janie still has it in the dash? I do have a factory amc am/cb..not the am/fm/cb, just am/cb to put into my 77 J10...and I plan to use it. We have a tower and base station in the house, and I used to call home and chat with a few truckers, though range was horrible...

So how many of us have CB's??? My handle is my email addy at yahoo...Jeeper71

I might have an am/fm/cb if you need one.

[orangecherokee]

I have one but somehow last trip out it wouldn't let me put a signal out. Anyway, I love my CB. I think everyone should have them.

When you have a major disaster and the cell towers go down, the CB will save your bacon. Not to mention, a it's a good way to meet a truck stop cutie.

Aaron, sure do. It works beautifully and that's one item that will never get upgraded/replaced on the Honcho.

[flatbackdragon]

I truly hope you ain't a talking about the "LOT LIZARDS"

[Jeep_Guy]

My honcho has the factory am/fm/cb. I also mounted a fiberglass antennae from a truckstop onto the middle tab on the factory rollbar. It seems to get much better reception that way.

I also have a cb setup in my wrangler, but I mostly just use it to keep in contact with the other vehicles when we go offroading.

[spaulding]

I have an am/fm/cb that I'm waiting for the right Jeep to put it in. I can't talk my wife into putting it in our '82 daily driver, so it's shelved for now. I'm sure it'll be cool when i get to use it.

[Lindel]

I've got a Cobra, compliments of Bill and Janie. I haven't installed it yet, since the truck's still on jackstands, but soon...

[Mud Buzzard]

i've got one of these: I like it because it takes up less space and is mounted higher (roof). I also use a Wilson 5000 antenna with a 68" whip that's attached to a spring so it doesn't rip off when it hits a tree or overpass.

[The PIG Smith]

All this CB Radio Talk as gotten thinking about one of favorite folk singers, CW McCall.
Most every knows his famous song, Convoy, but who all knows the sequel to Convoy, 'round the World with the Rubber Duck?

[On the CB.]
Breaker, one-nine, this here's the Duck again. You got a copy on me Pig Pen, c'mon?
Ah, negatory, Pig Pen, there ain't no way out 'cept for that one Atlantic Ocean.
Now listen, drop them hogs off in Omaha and get over here in a short, 'cause it definitely looks like we got us a problem.

Bears to the left; bears to the right
We didn't have no place to go.
They had us backed up clean to the shore, and them cab-over Petes don't float.
I says, "Pig Pen, I got me a good idea. Them Friends a' Jesus gonna save us!
"So praise the Lord and Mister Ford, And follow that micro-bus, ten-four.

[Now, imagine a bunch of rowdy pirates -- the buccaneer type, not software -- chanting the Chorus.]

[Chorus]
Yo ho ho, and a thousand trucks
Gonna take a bath with a Rubber Duck
Yo ho ho, and a lots a' luck
'Round the world with the Rubber Ducky!

Yeah, we drove on the water like diesel whales
Sank about a hunnert-and-ten of 'em.
I says, "Pig Pen, they just didn't have no faith. They definitely gone ten-seven."
By the time we got into that Piccadilly Town, 'Bout half of 'em was lost at sea.
I says, "Break one-nine for a ten-thirty-three", what we got was the cotton-pickin' BBC

[Spoken, in a sorta British accent]
I say, Fabersham. Looks likes the Americans have got themselves another bloody Convoy.

[Chorus]
Yo ho ho, and a thousand trucks
Gonna take a bath with a Rubber Duck
Yo ho ho, and a lots a' luck
'Round the world with the Rubber Ducky!

[Spoken, in the same sorta British accent]
Good heavens! Look at them all! Half of them are sinking in the Thames!
Hello! Some of our truck chaps are assisting them. Good show, actually. Oh, well, ten-four and all that rubbish.

Well, we crossed that Channel like snakes on glass and stormed the beach about dawn.
I says, "Grab your shifters and punch 13, we all goin' truckin' on the Autobahn.
"Now, Pig Pen, this here's the ultimate slab, 'cause look, there goes a Mercedes truck."
He says, "Break one-three for the Strudel Machine, ya just blew the doors off'n the Duck. How 'bout it?"

[Spoken, in a sorta German accent. A really bad German accent.]
Oh, zehn-vier, Rubber Duck. Ve are receiving you vall-to-vall, but the schpeed limit on za Autobahn is triple-nickels.
You travel too schlow, Rubber Duck. We gonna see you around. We gone. Wiedersehen.

[Chorus]

Well, we stopped for a coffee in West Berlin and the British had hundred-mile tea.
I says, "Pig Pen, from here on it's wall-to-wall bears, Bash the Wall; we gonna see."
Well, them big red bears must'a been in the bush, 'cause we didn't see a one all day
So we raked up the leaves and we shook out the tree 'til they finally had something to say
You got it..

[Spoken in a bad Russian accent. A really bad... you know the rest.]
Comrade Duck: you have been given until daybreak in Murmansk to get your cotton-pickin' trucks out of the U. S. S. of R. You will copy!

[Chorus]

Well, we shot them rigs through salt-mine city with a hammer and a sickle on down

Then we hit the fan through the Sea of Japan and tooled into Transistor Town.
I says, "Pig Pen, this here must be the place 'cause everybody's eatin' with sticks."
He says, "Ten-Four, this here is CB land 'cause my channel knob just went crick."

[Spoken in a really bad Japanese]
Ah so, Lubba Duck. You have a nice day today, betta day tomollow.
We catch you on frip-frop. This one Kamikaze Ozzie; we gone. Sayonara.

[Chorus]
Yo ho ho, and a thousand trucks
Gonna take a bath with a Lubba Duck
Yo ho ho, and a rots a' ruck
'Round the world with a Lubba Ducky!

[On the CB.]
Ah, ten-four, Pig Pen, what's your twenty? Australia? Mercy sakes, ain't nothin' down there but Tasmanian devils and them Q-alla bears.
What's that? No double-nickel limit? We gonna be there in a short, Pig Pen.
This here's the Rubber Duck, ten-ten and doin' it to it like Pruitt used'ta do it to it.
We gone. 'Bye-'bye.

I use CB on the trail. At 5 watts I don't think it's really that reliable of a mode of communication. Ham radios in certain cases can run up to 1500 watts if you have a license of course. I did have base stations back in the 23 channel days. Fun back then...

[shadowjeep]

i use one on the trails too. it comes in handy when your trying to tell someone there tires is about to come off or something like that. good info to have.

[jeepdad56]

or you need to stop for gas again.. (FSJ Thing)
