Where have you mounted your CB and the antenna?

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






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












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






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

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.
