Hopefully this is the right place to post this.... sorry if its not. Anyway Im putting a CB into my '84 toyota pu. Im just wondering where you guys mounted it inside the truck at? Im not sure where to put mine... Thanks

 

alot of people put it where the ash tray is.. or between the seats

 

Alot of people ask, But none of them search.

 

i mounted mine up high too, out of the mud and water.

if you pull the viser clip out you can screw it right to the roof there. i don't have any sunvisors cause of my internal cage though.

the question is where to mount the whip. mine is on the bumper out back

 

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought the 84-88 pickups don't have a deep enough ashtray to accomodate a CB. If you guys have pics showing otherwise, please post them up. I really like the ashtray mount, so would be excited to see if I could easily make it work

 

could you take some pics of your dash ?

 

I was thinking of doing something like this with mine but was not real sure how to mount it with out destroying the headliner. I suppose I could make some sort of bracket to go from the visor holes...

 

i tried to put my cobra in the tray slot but the unit was too deep, it stuck way out of the dash and looked cheesy plus up high is easy access anyways.

 

well if a 87 ish 1st 4runner has the same interior i installed a uniden pro510xl in the radio pocket with a little trimming it fits real nice and looks sorta factory sorry for the crap pic it was under the car port and it was dark

 

I put mine in front of the driver side speaker. Out of the way and leaves the tray below the radio open for stashin stuff and the ashtray in place for....loose change of course!

 

I dont think they fit right into the ash tray. this is a 3rd gen truck but still in the ash tray. Its a midland cb








EDIT: ya i know i gotta rats nest of a wiring funk goin on. but everything works

 

I tried searching and all I got was a lousy tshirt...

 

I though about this as well, you don't smack your knee off this???

 

Nope, I'm 6'2" and the loop of the mic cord just touches the top of my knee when driving.

 

OIC extended cab... sorry missed that.

 

thanks for all the input guys. i desided to mount it on the back of the center consul.... i would put it in the ash tray but i would have to do some trimming to slip it in there and i dont think it would even be deep enough. ill take a pic of it when i finish it. hopefully tomarrow....

 

^ My Ham Radio Install

What I'm probably going to end up doing for a CB radio if I can't properly hack my Yaesu to transmit on the CB Freqs is go with this for a CB:



It'll mount the small box in the glove compartment and the handset will fold and sit nicely in the popout tray under the heating controls.

 

just to let you know i havent left u guys hangin. ive just been busy lately huntin and i havent fastened the cb down yet cause now its not workin. maybe im just not gettin signal idk but when i get it all figured out ill post pics.

 

ok finally got around to mounting it. hopefully the pics work...

 

Interesting spot to mount it. Never thought of mounting one there. Does it feel awkward reaching for it, since you kinda have to reach behind?
