Your CB Radio Install

[enyego]

Where have you mounted your CB and the antenna?

 

[Alec]

Mine was screwed vertically to the passenger side of the center console. Antenna was on the roof basket, coax ran through the rear hatch weatherstripping.

Here is where I had it in the 91, now I just have it sitting in between the pass. seat and the console in the 97...

digger, is the hand held part the entire thing.... then you just plug it in to thepower outlet.... how do you hook up the antanea...

 

[CarFreak146]

I have mine mounted below the ashtray:

And I have my antenna mounted on the rear drivers corner above the taillight:

 

[SVO]

mine is in front of the console, and the antenna is mounted to the driver's side of the rear part of roof rack.

Digger, that kicks a**. Where did you hide the radio, and how do you select channels?

 

[Digger196]

the entire radio in in the palm of your hand. it is a Cobra something. it is really cool.

BTW, about a month ago someone had made and was selling brackets to mount the antenna that sat on the q screws that hold the tail light in...i think they were $25.

digger, the hand held piece just plugs into a powersource. What about an antaneaa....

 

[Limited Ex]

Here is where I put mine. I got lucky though, because I did not measure anything, just kind guesstimated.....

How the antenna is mounted

And you can kind of see the antenna in this picture

On my 99 i screwd it to the bottom of the ash tray. In between the cig lighter and the glove box under the dash. For the antenna...just a roof mag mount with the coax ru nthrough the weatherstripping on the door

Digger's radio is the cobra 75 WXST or something another. It has a remote mounted box where the antenna and power leads hook up. You hide this box where you want to and the display is in the mic. its pretty cool but they cost more than I was willing to pay. Mine is the cobra 18 WX ST II and its pretty nice. scanner, weather channels, front firing speaker... $73 to my door online

Here's mine.

Uniden Bearcat CB

Dual 4' Firestiks.

Mine is located here. Because I need to be able to remove / reinstall it for camping. They freak out here if you have a CB they think your trying to catch them at something...

I was thinking of mounting it where the Air controls are once I install my Expedition Overhead console, my Air Switches are going up top and that leaves me with a open spot down below.

oops, forgot to add this...
