Review: 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.

Review: 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.

Review: I was recommended that I buy the BIGBILLCOMBO (sans the CB, which I already had) from your site. You came highly rated by FJCruiserForums.com memebrs (of which, I am one).
I got my order yesterday (after a delay on Walcott\'s part) and promptly started assembling things. I found the 2\' Wilson antenna you shipped me had a bad thread job on it and won\'t seat correctly in the mount. I called today and asked if you would replace it, to which your rep said, \"Yep, but you have to pay for shipping back to us.\" I felt ripped. Did you guys even bother to check the part before it left? If not, then why should I have to shoulder the burden of the defective part you shippe=d me?!?!? I don\'t think that\'s taking care of your (new) customer. I\'ll certainly tell everyone on FJCruiserForums.com about this mishap and your lack of acceptable remedy.

Unfortunately from time to time, product defects do occur. The solution for a defect is simple, get the product back to us and we\'ll replace it for a new one or give you your money back. Remember, we do not manufacture any of the products we sell, nor do we take part in the manufacturers quality control process, it is the job of the manufacturer to ensure their products are defect free. Keep in mind, if you send the item back to us we will meet you half way and we will pay to send the item back to you, free of charge.

Review: 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.

Review: 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...

Review: 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.

Review: 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.
