I often wondered if the was a way in install the CB in the dash as i don't like it hanging from the bottom of it as i did have it, I didn't wanna make a whole new center console as some have done, and i could not hang it from the ceiling as i always have in past vehicles as this was the first rig with a overhead console.

So yesterday i got extremely brave (and board) and decided to whip out the measuring tape and the sawzall a see if i could make happen what i always wished i could do...

Let's get to the pics!

Here is the way the old setup was mounted:



And here is the new setup in the dash:












This is just the rough install, i plan to go back later when i get the right supplies and clean it up a bit. Hope you all enjoyed the pics, that's my story and i am sticking to it

 

sweet job man, looks much better this way then it did hanging there

 

good job looks good right there

 

What CB is the new one? Is the smaller one FM race radio? I have older Unidentified with front speaker I ran in the dash under the stereo in my t100. Fit like it was stock option.

 

It's the new uniden bearcat 880, just released from uniden this month. The smaller radio in the first pic was a scanner that i dont use anyone since they went digital here

 

Nice man that's slick! I'll probably do that when I get a cb and 2 meter for my rig

 

Do you have your CB yet?

 

kind of off topic but were did you mount your antenna? Ive tryed a magnet mount on my roof but it doesnt stay in place when im offroading

 

looking good

If you go that route make sure you also get yourself a good BRAIDED ground strap and run it from the mount to the FRAME.
