Ya, that looks to be a little more in my price range. Also, I'm not too concerned about having a PA feature on mine.
Man, the harder I try to save money, the more I want to spend on my rig! This is ridiculous...but great at the same time

The Midland 79-290 is single din sized. It fits nicely under a single din radio in 3rd Gen 4Runners.
You do have to fab a bezel surround for it to fill 0.5" gaps on eigther side, that's the most difficult part of the install. You also have to fab some brackets out of plumbers strap which is easy.
Rich P. on 4x4wire has some great pictures that are very helpful.
Go there and do a search for "CB Install" and you'll find them.
It works very well underneath you stereo as the face is slants out slightly at the bottom, angling the display up nicely for easy viewing.
If you can live without the PA feature as Corey has pointed out, than it's a really great unit (especially since Group Buy Mike is hooking us up!!)

How about this. A Cobra 18 WX ST II.
This CB requires absolutely no cutting or fabbing a faceplate to cover open spaces. The only thing I needed was a 90 degree coax connector due to the tight space behind the the CB.

How about some stocking stuffers, like tow straps, hi lift jacks, those valve stem do-hickies that lower the tire pressure automatically, low pressure tire gauge, etc. Something in the $20-$50 range.

Alright, for $45.00 a set, we will do the Staun Deflators...I use these and they are very accurate!! You can click here to purchase them!!
Here is some information on them:
* They are fully adjustable
* Each valve has an adjustment range of 30psi down to 6psi
* They are easy to use, not requiring any tools
* They are highly accurate, deflating to within 0.05psi of the preset pressure they have been adjusted to
* They are the smallest tyre deflators available measuring only 30mm x 15mm (1.18" x 0.6")
* They are one of the lightest deflators weighing only 32 grams (1.13 ounces)
* They are made of 100% brass
* They are the fastest deflators on the market (tests found a normal 10rx15 tyre takes approx. 1 minute and 30 seconds to deflate from 32psi to 18psi)
* Every valve is completely pre-tested to ensure high performance
* They are covered with a 5 year guarantee
* They can be used for all types of four wheel driving ranging from coastal sand driving, desert sand driving, rock climbing to mud driving.

Looks like a good buy. I did a quick check and found $45 is the cheapest. I'll order 2 later. 
Make that 3.

STOP! This is getting out of had very quickly. Mike has gotten enough of my money already!
Yeah, if you get deflators, got to have something to air the tires back up.
If those Stauns are as good as you all say they are, I'd definitely be interested. Just curious about deflators in general, do they let air out at a much faster rate then say a cheapo tire pressure gauge?
Also, I'm pretty sure I'm settled on the Quick Air II portable as I don't need the speed and inconvenience of refilling of a PowerTank. Not necessarily a group buy, Mike, but what is your price on those, or do I have to e-mail/call you?
