the first and only place i thought to mount the CB was in place of the ash tray. i don't have any actual use for the tray, and the CB fits pretty much perfectly in the space without it looking like body panels are missing, so it made the perfect spot. on top of that, it's easy to reach while driving, and the speaker is not obstructed.
actually in the garage finishing up the wiring as i type this....gotta love laptops and wireless. i've been feeling like **** since the weekend, so that's about all i'll get done on that part. in the next day or two i'll go ahead and run the coax and mount the antenna and call it a day. and then maybe get around to mounting some Hella 500s on the front.

anyway, here is how it is looking.....the dash bezel looks terrible close up b/c of 12 years of wear. maybe i'll replace it or paint it one day.







oh yeah, i ran through 1st, 3rd, and 5th before i permanently mounted it to make sure everything clears......they do. the best thing of this is if i pull it out, no holes are visible and you would never know anything other than the ash tray was there.


i went ahead and wired in some quick disconnects in case i ever need to take it out....i won't have to cut the wiring.

 

Thats a good cb, i had one i peaked and tuned it. People thought i was running a Cobra 29, but now i have a cobra 25 . Those radios are perfict size for the rangers.

 

dude thats awesome i mite have to check that out...mines rigged in the same spot helod onto the tray by Velcro haha.

 

Looks good there.

 

Nice set-up, exactly what I want to do.

What CB is that and where can I pick one up?

 

Cobra 19 DX 3 or 4, you can get it at walmart, or any truck stop

 

Always wanted to put a cb in, we used to have a lot of fun messing with the truckers in my buddys truck who had one. Looks good.

I've seen them there and mounted on the ceiling.
