Here is my current setup:
Cobra18WXSTII
I got the antenna (wilson fiberglass) mounted to the upper light mount of my ARB with a quick disconnect! Works great!
I have been tossing around the idea of replacing this standard "CB" with a hi power "Race Radio" that the Baja teams use. They are programmable and can be programmed to work with CB's and they have a MUCH longer range. Not sure on the exact specifics but most of them are 50-110watts.

They do offer some really nice super heavy duty magnetic mounts for the roof. Not the usual radio shack stuff!

Yes, my 99 Taco had one, super hard to come by though. It had the AM/FM/CD in one din and the storage pocket below.
It looked similar to this one but had radio controls:

I remember it was NOT easy finding this when i first got the truck!
Are you dead set on an OEM Toyota head unit?? I like the current head unit i have because it has a direct interface with my iPod and i control the iPod straight from the Alpine head unit. The iPod is in the glove box and i never have to touch it and i have direct access to 60gb of my tunes via the head unit! VERY cool for long trips!!!

Not DEAD set, just I like keeping things as stock as possible. Thinking about the Toyota electric locker instead of ARB for the exact same reason.
I'm not a big music buff. I have some CDs that I have/burn, and most music/talk is from FM/AM, but the majority of the time I travel without music or the like (some people find that annoying when driving with me on long distances
That said, my CB, Ham radio, MP3/OGG player, son's portable DVD, I play through an FM transmitter.

I'd call the guys at http://www.walcottcb.com/catalog/index.php and ask for a tech. I've found their customer service to be outstanding. They sold me on the wilson 1000 roof mount after I had trouble installing my firestik. The guy had been installing CBs for over 20 years and really knew his stuff.
