Thanks guys for the warm welcome.  Sliders are definitely up there on my list of things to do.  As far as Cb's go what are you guys running? I've heard good things about the cobra 75 wx st handheld unit, and I like how compact it is. Are there any quality antenna mounts out there for the xterra?

A number of others here have the Cobra 75 handheld unit, and I think all have liked it. I have a Uniden 510 that has been very solid, which I got as a kit from here: http://www.rightchannelradios.com/products/uniden-jeep-off-road-cb-kit
I have a 4' (3' might have been better) Wilson Flex for low-cover forest trails and a 3' Firestik II if I'm in the clear. I have it mounted on top of my roof rack, which is fairly exposed compared to mounting it on a lower height, but I haven't had any issues yet.

I don't remember if there are any specific go-to mounts for the 2nd Gens, but I think inside the rear hatch lip is a popular option. Here's one thread I found: http://www.sccxterra.com/smf/index.php/topic,1690.0.html

one thing about antennas is you want them above the vehicle, the rule of thumb is to have atleast 2/3 of the antenna above the roof line so the lower your mount, the longer the antenna you should run.  most people get away with a 2' or 3' firestick on a K400 mount with good results.  do note that 102" whip antennas are not allowed on any club runs.

Kenwood, TM-742A...oh wait, that's my HAM radio.

Sorry, you said CB...my bad.

Cb radios are all primarily the same, form factor is the only difference, the 75 is good cause it's small, the uniden 510 is small and fits well in the center console.  Performance is highly Dependant on the antenna.
