Cobra 29 LTD Chrome AM/FM CB Radio + Hustler IC56 102″ Whip Install Kit Combo

The Cobra 29 LTD Chrome AM/FM CB Radio + Hustler IC56 102″ Whip Install Kit Combo pairs Cobra's chrome-plated flagship CB with a complete 102-inch stainless-steel whip install kit — the classic OTR trucker setup, dressed up with a mirror-polished chrome faceplate. Add your mounting location (rain gutter, mirror mount, or bull bar) and you have a ready-to-mount RF chain for a show-quality install.

What's In the Bundle

• Cobra 29 LTD Chrome AM/FM CB Radio (mirror-polished chrome faceplate, dual-mode AM/FM, 40 CB channels, 4W output, Talkback, Dynamike gain, 2-year Cobra warranty)
• Hustler IC56 102″ stainless-steel whip antenna (17-7 stainless, industry-standard 3/8"-24 stud, tuned for the CB band)
• Universal aluminum antenna mounting bracket with SO-239 stud
• 5-inch pot-belly barrel spring (KA52-style — absorbs whip flex at highway speed)
• 18 feet of RG8X coax with molded PL-259 ends
• Whip tie-down bungee (holds the top of the whip during low-clearance runs)
• Cobra 29 LTD Chrome accessories: 4-pin dynamic microphone, fused DC power cord, mounting bracket, mic clip, owner's manual

Why Buy the Combo

You save roughly 5% versus buying the Cobra 29 LTD Chrome, the Hustler IC56 whip, and the install kit components separately. This is the traditional 102-inch trucker install, but with the chrome-faceplate finish that stands out at truck shows and in polished-interior cabs. Don't forget to add the Pro tune and alignment option at checkout so that your radio is professionally bench-tuned for best performance per the manufacturer's service manual.

Who This Combo Is For

• Show-truck operators and OTR drivers who want the traditional Hustler 102" whip install with a chrome-faceplate radio to match chrome mic hangers, chrome bezels, and polished interior trim
• Drivers replacing a worn AM-only 29 LTD with the new AM/FM version while also refreshing their antenna install in one order
• Buyers who want a complete RF chain in one purchase — radio, antenna, coax, mount, spring, tie-down — without ordering four separate accessories

Install Notes

• The IC56 whip uses a standard 3/8"-24 stud and threads directly into the included aluminum bracket or any universal ball mount. Common mounting locations: rain gutter, bull bar, mirror bracket, or tool-box lip.
• The 5-inch KA52-style barrel spring absorbs whip flex at highway speed and low-branch strikes. Install it between the mount and the whip base.
• 18 feet of RG8X coax is standard for most single-cab and extended-cab installs. Route through a factory grommet or a drip loop and terminate at the Cobra 29 LTD Chrome's rear SO-239 antenna jack.
• Always verify SWR at the antenna during install — set to under 2.0:1 on channel 20 with the whip tuned by trimming from the top down.
• For the cleanest AM/FM modulation, add the Pro tune and alignment service at checkout.

Cobra 29 LTD Chrome + Hustler IC56 Combo — Frequently Asked Questions

What's included in this combo?

The Cobra 29 LTD Chrome AM/FM CB radio (with its factory 4-pin dynamic mic, DC power cord, mounting bracket, and mic clip), a Hustler IC56 102-inch stainless-steel whip antenna, an aluminum antenna mounting bracket, a 5-inch barrel spring, 18 feet of RG8X coax with PL-259 ends, and a whip tie-down bungee.

Do I save money buying this combo?

Yes. The combo is priced at approximately 5% below the total of the components purchased separately.

Where does the antenna mount?

The included aluminum bracket is a universal antenna mount that attaches to any solid steel surface — rain gutter, bull bar, mirror bracket, or tool-box lip. If you have a specific vehicle in mind, contact us and we'll confirm which bracket style will work best.

Is the 102-inch whip too tall for my truck?

The IC56 is 102 inches (roughly 8.5 feet) tall when mounted. This is the classic full-quarter-wave CB antenna length and is generally too tall for low-clearance parking structures and drive-throughs — that's what the included tie-down bungee is for. Most OTR trucks and pickups have no clearance issue on open roads.

Does the combo include everything I need to install it?

The combo includes the radio, antenna, mount, spring, coax, and tie-down. You'll still need a set of self-tapping screws or through-bolts to secure the mount to your chosen location, and a place to route the coax into the cab. Everything else is in the box.

Does the Cobra 29 LTD Chrome ship peaked and tuned?

No — it ships stock from Cobra with factory alignment. Don't forget to add the Pro tune and alignment option at checkout so that your radio is professionally bench-tuned for best performance per the manufacturer's service manual.

Will the IC56 work with other CB radios?

Yes. The Hustler IC56 is a universal 3/8"-24 stud CB antenna that works with any CB radio (Cobra, President, Uniden, Galaxy, Stryker, and others) using a standard 50-ohm SO-239 antenna jack. If you upgrade radios later, the antenna install carries over.

What SWR should I expect on this setup?

A properly tuned IC56 whip should produce an SWR of 1.5:1 or lower across all 40 CB channels once the whip length is dialed in. SWR should be verified at the antenna during install — start by trimming from the top of the whip in small increments.

What's the difference between this combo and the Cobra 29 LTD Classic Hustler combo?

Only the finish on the radio. The Chrome has a mirror-polished chrome faceplate; the Classic has the traditional black finish. Same internals, same warranty, same antenna kit, same price. Pick the one that matches your interior.
