Christmas Present

My parents said they would spend 100 bucks for a Christmas present for me. I want something for the jeep but cant come up with anything around $100. Does anyone have an idea of something? Cause I'm drawing a blank. Thanks.

i got the BF a CB for christmas. Cost me $180 after tax, but I got him the Cobra 75 and a whole accessories kit (2 antennas, mounts, and cables). The radio itself was $120. He's got a TJ though, so I wanted something compact. You could get a cheaper radio at Radio Shack. I think thats a good idea.

Or an OME steering stabilizer? Kind of an odd idea, but I hear they are amazing.

You can easily get a CB setup for $100.

I have a Uniden PRO520XL ($50), Radio Shack 4' tunable fiberglass antenna ($20), 18ft coax cable ($20), mount can be homemade or bought for around $10.
