Advice on mounting my CB
Okay, so after a year and a half, I'm ready to find a better spot for my CB than the passenger side of the trans tunnel. I have a Cobra Nightwatch. which measures about 7.5"x9"x2.5". I'm having a hard time finding a good spot to mount it. I've got a 92 Xcab manual transmission. Any help is appreciated

That looks really good, but the dimensions on mine are way bigger, which is my issue.
|
have you tried a little "modding" to stuff it under the radio?, looks doable to my 89, not sure that the interiors changed a whole lot. that's where i had it in my 86

Nix, sounds like the same CB I have, the 29 Nightwatch.
A good place to put it is below the glovebox on 2nd gen 4Runner type interiors, and also that is where I have it now on the FJ. It does not interfere with the passengers legs at all. 91 4Runner http://pnw4runners.com/tando/cb.jpg And in the FJ same spot http://www.pnw4runners.com/fjc/mods/4m.jpg The mic now resides on the left side so the cord does not hang out like in the picture. |
the cb in my 87 was mounted under the steering column on my truck when i got it, not to bad a place so i left it
|
I had thought about under the glove box, and still am. Just wondering, though, isn't it a pain to mess with while driving in that location? (BTW, that is the same CB as mine)
|
No pain at all.
I do not do any adjustments, as I only run two channels. Chanel 17 for monitoring traffic when it backs up on my commute, and channel four when we go on runs. I can also leave the mic up in the upper holder I now have on the dash, as the mic is only a few feet away and I still come through great when people receive me. |

I was going to mount mine like corey did in his 2nd gen but got a wild hair and came up with this. |
