NEW UPDATED MOUNT!
The Big Bill Combo has been updated to include a stainless steel bandi mount.

This is a complete CB Radio system thought out and put together by BIGBILL25 of FJCRUISERFORUMS.com. BIGBILL25's idea, our products, your solution.

BIGBILLCOMBO Features

40 Channel CB Radio w/ NOAA Weather!The most compact CB radio solution for new vehicles with no room! The entire CB fits in the palm of your hand, yet still offers the performance and full features of a standard mobile CB. Ideal for RV'ers wanting a CB but not wanting the bulk of a regular mobile. Very popular CB for Jeep and Off-roaders, because the radio is in the microphone there is very little getting in the way. New pickups also benefit from the remote design of the 75WXST. If you have a newer pickup you'll know that the center console is almost always filled with things which leaves little to no room for a CB. This is the solution! Simply mount the small 2 inch junction box under the dash, connect the power to the fuse panel and plug the radio in. Or if you're looking for a convenient solution add a cigarette plug to the power cord for easy plug-n-play ability.

Heavy Duty Stainless Steel Spring (optional)Every antenna should have a spring. Springs protect the antenna, mount and vehicle. This spring is made from long lasting, top grade electro-polished stainless steel. The upper and lower inserts are made of chrome-plated machine brass and have standard 3/8-24 threads to fit all Firestik antennas, mounts and accessories. This heavy duty model may be used with antennas up to 60in. Physically, each spring is about 3.0in (76mm) tall with a diameter of 0.800

Additional Features

Stainless Steel Antenna Mount:CB antenna mounting bracket for all 2007+ FJ Cuisers. This mounting bracket requires no drilling and is a completely bolt-on unit.

Firestik Firefly Flexible Antenna:The Firefly Series antennas are the performance leader of lightweight top-loaded CB antennas. Each is approximately 40% lighter than the equivalent length Firestik II antenna. From the perspective of mount stress, the lighter materials and reduced wind drag of the

HS818TNKT 18 ft Coax Cable w. Removable PL259 and Terminator Stud:Perfect for Pickup and Off-Road Installations. Introducing a low profile surface mounted coax cable complete with a removable PL-259 connector. Many CB antenna installations are mounted in such a way that using a standard PL259 connector on the antenna side is simply not possible. For instance Pickup hood/fender mounts that hang over the fender do not work with a PL259 connector.

Decent range, ease of operation, durable, removable. Cheap paint on bandi mount, needed refurb after one winter. Good radio pkg! Still goin strong after 4 years, always used on road trips and off road events. Bandi mount started to rust after 1 winter. Took it down to the metal and repainted it with rustoleum, no further issues.

Clear sound and reception, kit includes everything you need (make sure you include a SWR!)you must get the installation instructions onlineThis is the perfect kit if you own a FJ Cruiser and you want a very clean to your setup. The installation is straight foward and much easier than it seems. Just remember to throughly tighten everything down and to ensure you have a good ground by scrapping away some paint as mentioned in the instructions. I now have excellent reception and a nice appearance.

This is a great setup for a while. Its really the only option for the fj so what else can you do. I have had mine for about 2 years the mount has rusted out once. I took the grinder to it and repainted it now its great. The cable splits eventually so again not entirely surprising given its mount location. Walcott is great.

This is a great set up and complete kit. My order arrived quickly and I installed it on my FJ in about 3 hours. The Bandi mount bolts on easily. I recommend that you go to fjcruiserforums.com and review some of the other users set ups and instructions before you begin. Bandi has some excellent advice and pictures to help you along. Tuning the Firefly antenna is a breeze and only took about 15 minutes total. I called Walcott with a few questions and they were very helpful. I highly recommend Walcott and this package for your FJ.

First off, GREAT COMPANY!! The kit was back ordered, but i still recieved it in about a week. The e-mail notifications where great. Constantly knowing the status of the shipment was awesome. The parts where all easy to install, look great, and work wonderful! Thanks again for everything!

This is the perfect setup for the FJ cruiser. I have no complaints but a few comments based on what I've read here and things to watch out for. First, the speaker on the hand unit seems fine to me, I purchased the extra speaker but it was completely unnecessary. It gets plenty loud enough. Next, make sure you do NOT over tighten the firering to the bandi mount. If you're having grounding problems, make sure you removed enough paint from the mount where the firering makes contact and the spot where the nut touches the truck. If you overtighten the firering you WILL ruin it and your SWRs will never be right. Great setup, thanks "bigbill" and bandi for putting this together and making it so incredibly easy.

This is the perfect set up for the FJ Cruiser. The Bandi Mount is fits into the hinge like Toyota designed the space for a mount. Everything arrived as ordered and installed in a couple hours. Checked SWR and got 1.2-1.4 readings throughout all channels.

thanks for putting this package together...

This is a perfect CB kit for your FJ Cruiser. We have made this the standard CB setup for the 702FJCrew.net FJ Cruiser Club in Las Vegas.

The only recommendation I have is that you get an external speaker and mount it behind the guages on the dash. The speaker in the mic is somewhat limited and the external speaker will drastically improve the audio.

We would suggest the CB980 speaker. Small in size, good sound.

I am very impressed with this system for my FJ Cruiser!! I bought all of the pieces about a month ago and installed it. I enjoy having the weather channel on long cross country drives.
The sound and reception is clear.
