Our Jeep club uses CBs to communicate on the trail, but I haven't found any use for it on the road. If you are traveling with friends and want to jeep in touch with the it might be useful. Not many people have short waves, so they're even less useful than a CB. If you want one, they are easy to install. Buy a cheap radio (all you'll give up are features you'll never use and a few LED lights) but get a real good antenna and cables. I have a $49 Uniden that works great. Took about an hour to install. Make sure you get a SWR meter ($20 at Radio Shack) and tune it or you could burn out the radio. It's very easy. Check out some U-tube videos.
