This is the CB I have - Cobra 75 WX ST. It's a good all-in-one. Surf around, though, because I'm sure you can find it cheaper. |

I have a Midland CB, bought from Amazon for ~$30. Added a Cobra magnet mount antenna to it & works like a charm (after tuning of course). |

Did you hardwire it, or use the 12v cigarette adapter for power? Which model do you have? I've seen several different styles. One that looks like a SatComm and others that have a stationary base that stays in the car. |

I added a lot of these items to my "Xterra Essentials" shopping list.  What size extinguisher is recommended to keep in the X? obviously a household extinguisher is just way too big, and the ones in autozone seem like they can only put out a matchstick... |

I have a small household extinguisher (I forget the capacity but it's about 18" tall) and a fire blanket, as well as all my (flame-resistant) welding gear. If I can't put it out, it's gonna have to burn. |

I bought a small one from PepBoys or Autozone I think... About a foot tall, enough for a small fire Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I figure my extinguisher is for someone else's rig, if mines on fire I may want to just get out. I hope others help me as I would help them. Together we have enough to keep each other safe. |

Haha nice thread revival. I just replaced mine from a local fire specialty distributor. Managed to pick up a broad that worked there, but it was short lived. She left a hairbrush in my X, which I then used to scrub the black off my black hands after OFR before we went out for dinner. Everything happens for a reason lol |
