I would love to see some pics of how you guys get your coax out of the truck to the antenna.so far the only thing i can think of is drilling a hole in the cab to get the coax outside.

Try rightchanneradios.com they helped me out with mine. As for location, mines in between the seat and console. Its the best radar I've ever owned and the some best comedic conversations I've ever heard.

I had my Cb mounted under the steering wheel, the dual antennas were on the tool box, then they moved to the tail light guards.

ignore the damage


without damage



after paint.


Unfortunatley, I cannot find one of them mounted to the light guards, as they were only mounted on there for a week or so, decided to go another way with the truck and never kept them on, but they are for sale.
