ive got an 01 XLT with a cheapie cobra CB but im having issues on where to mount it. its just sort of chillin by the cupholders right now. need to find a decent spot to mount the son of a bish. pics are a plus if you have them! help me out please!

 

Here is where mine is. Its small enough that it doesn't bother my site and seems to work just fine. I might change it later.



Here is what I am thinking of doing.

 

Here's mine:

soccer john...thats the cb i have haha. i had mine up there on the dash in my old 94 ranger. didnt like it so much. but the one on the lower dash panel my knees would probably hit...

 

Down at knee level would be painful in an accident. :(

 

You could mount it under the arm rest, supside down, or on the back of it

 

mines under the dash, mounted to the ash tray, but im in a fullsize dodge ram, but im upgrading to the one that 04blackedge (trent) has next week.

 

I am 6'3" and this has never been a problem here, if oyu have a stick it may be, the only thing that ever happened is my ex-gf would go to slam on the e-brake and rip it off (it doesnt block the pedal, she just had hre foot in the wrong area)

 

Here's where i had my old cheapie cobra....

 

i dont have a pic as i only have a c.b. in when im off on a trip but when i do have one its in front of the shifter under the ashtray. i had one mounted there in my '88 and had it stolen. since then i only have one in there when im on a trip.i did have a very nice cobra 29 ltd classic. my radio now is a more compact cobra, dont remember the model type. in the '88 i had a speaker mounted under the headliner above the rear-veiw mirror so the i could hear it better. it also had a p.a. horn under the hood. i havent done either with the current truck but i do have dixie air horns.

 

I have a 60/40 right now, and it's shoved under the middle seat, with the front sticking out just a bit. I only ever monitor two channels anyway so I don't need to see the display. The mic sits in the little coin tray in front of the cupholders on my console.

 

i mounted my cobra 25 under my arm rest in my center console as soon as i can figer out how to post pics ill post one.

 

 

I had mine on the back side of the arm rest facing up.

like this??? this is how i got mine

 

That would make one heavy *** arm rest...

I like triggers idea! I've always wondered what you could do with that slot on the FL console lol... I sure as hell ain't usin' it for tissues! HAHA.. That's what my sleeve is for lol

 

I don't use my CB enough to make it worth loosing the cab space to a permanently mounted radio. When I need it, I wedge my hand-held on the trans hump between the shifter and the center console. I have a hand-held mike that I drop in a cup-holder. I use a magnetic-mount antenna on the roof of the cab and jam the antenna lead in the weather-seal on the drivers-side super-cab door.

Setup takes about 5 min..

 

Nope, not like that FordFX...I ment the console, like in the extended cab, with the ***** facing up, I used a gear keeper to reel the mic back in, so I didnt' have to mess with it.

 

i was gonna put mine in the console like you are talking about but i didnt feel like moving the airbag switch. plus i got a nifty little sub in there. i guess its a rare find i dunno. my mic cord used to bug me but after a while i got used to it hangin on the mirror. it actually stiffins up the armrest with the radion there. i like it its out of the way yet easily accesible

 

I've got mine on the roof between the visors... I love it! If you need pics I can take some tomorrow..

 

^^waayyyy ahead of ya Tre...

here's my current location for my Cobra 29LTD BC...same location as Trevor's.....

 

Bingo lol

 

I mean on back of the console, like in the extended cab.

 

I have the reg cab and when i get mine im gonna mount it on that back wall under the window
