I found a cb and set of fire sticks layin around where i work. I tested the fire sticks but only 4 of the 6 lights work in each. Is there some where to get replacement light tubes for them?

What are fire sticks anyway? I have a CB in my truck, and have heard of firesticks. Just not sure what the difference between them and a regular antenna is.

Stop by your local Flying J, they have pretty sweet dual whip setups.

Dual set up's may hurt you unless you are able to get the antennas at least 8ft apart. I think if you are looking for a good antenna for a truck is a Monkey Made. A buddy of mine has one and it's the best I've ever heard. Way better than a dual set up. The coils look pretty cool too! They don't look cheap like some of the other antennas with the round coils. Just my opinion.

Have dual 4' K40 Superflex antennas on the KW, and a single 3' K40 fiberglass whip. Work MUCH better than any Barjan that the "J" sells.

I got a firestik mounted on drivers side hood and it's probably a great antenna, but nobody can get it to tune in right. It's been through 3 different shops.
