I gotta put my 2 cents in on this one. Mounting them down by your 4x4 shifter doesn't sound like a good place, unless you don't mind looking down all the time to eye spy them.

"BAM! oooops. Sorry officer. I was looking down at my gauges and didn't see the little old lady in front of me slam on her brakes trying to avoid running over the kitty."

See my point? Personally, I'd keep them either on the A-pillar, top of steering column, and/or top of dash. Besides, up there everyone else can see them and wonder "Hmmm..........should I try and embarass him, or does he have alot of ponies under his hood to embarass me?"

Also, for quick use, I'd stuff the bat between the seats! I'd hate to see you have to fumble around in a pinch trying to lift that string over your shifter while pulling the bat out.

Mayfair is that a Childs Band radio I see in that photo?[sm=icon_sneaky.gif]

I'm not really sweating having to look at the gauges all the time anyway, so having them on the floor wouldn't really bother me.

As far as the bat goes, I'm not really sweating that either. I've had no probs getting it when I needed it !!

Oops ....



DB, yep, that thar is my CB !!

Don't sweat the CB radio Mayfair. I have a 10/11 meter setup in my truck. And baby, it's got swing..LOL.


I used to run a high drive Palomar under the seat. Used to heat that Wilson antenna to the point where it would burn skin....lol.

I aint sweatin the CB, but I WOULD like to have it tuned up. I remember back in the day taking my old CB to my neighbors house and he did some sort of tuning toit and when he was done with it MAN .... it was almost like I caould reach China !! He's no longer with us, but I'd love to find someone else who could do it. Do you know of anyone who tunes CB's ??

Mayfair - about the CB's, I'd give my recommendation 1stopelectronics.com. Frank over there I'm sure would hook you up right. He's the only man I let touch my radios anymore. I know he's in the process of moving his store, so he might be a bit hard to reach for a few days.

yeah it is a distraction having to look that far down at my gauges... the only thing that makes senes to me is to mount the boost in an SRT pod on the pillar and add a fuel pressure guage down where the other one was. Overall though I like having it fit into the dash.

I was looking last night at the spot right above where you see my cup. I never close the cup holder, so maybe I could work that bracket into that spot. It would pretty much be in the same place as yours Steve.

What gauges do you think that I should go with? ( EGT - boost, fuel, ect. )

Thanks for the heads up !! Do you know the guy? I'd like to have my current radio tuned up, not have someone try to sell me a new one. I like my current radio because it fits right and I like the red numbers.

Can't say that I've ever met him personally (although, next time I'm in the chicago area, I might just have to look him up), but I know a lot of people that have. I've talked to him on the phone and on the cb forums that he runs. Stand up guy and does great work. I know others have shipped their radios to him for a tune up or repairs. Personally, I've bought new and had him tune it before it was shipped. Stands behind his work too. I'd give him a call and talk it over to see what could be done with it and if it would be worth the price.
