Default CB?

Who has a CB radio? Which kind, how is it mounted, what type of antenna, how/where is it mounted?

I do not have one yet. It's on my list. I don't see me using it much, so I think I would get a cheap one, if not used. I'm leaning towards a Cobra Dxiv or a Midland 1001Z. The midland is about $15 ~ $20 cheaper, but from what I've read this is reflected in the materials used to build it. Plus, honestly I don't know much about CB, I've never heard of Midland, but I have heard of Cobra. As for the antenna and mounting, I'm thinking of just getting a firestik and then doing a bandi mount or get some bracket fabbed up to mount on the spare tire holder. Thoughts?
