Don't know if i've posted shots of this before....but here's my 29LTD BC(black chrome) radio....

Failed to install Explorer OHC = excellent place to mount big cb. lol. Used 1" nylon spacers and I believe #12 x 1.5" maybe 1.25" self tappers. Believe I added two extra screws as well. Ran the wiring and coax though the A pillar, above the headliner, and down the hole. You can hear is awesome. I usually drive with the mic cord hanging as it's definately not in my way. But...occasionally just flip it up behind the radio out of the way. Will soon be modding little brackets to hold the mic cord up behind the radio, rather than just kinda 'hangin' out.

Downside: black chrome case...when the sun hits it just right....shines right in your face. I 'downgraded' to the stock regular black plastic case.

 

wow man i like your radio, it would go with my interior better... i am jelious. but i am also very happy with my twin sticks, my cb has paid for itself over and over again,, and them stcis bend 180 degrees, my k40 would snap at the base.... POS

 

Thanks alot man.



You got springs on those antennas? cuz i do just fine in a parking garage w/ my sing 4'...no snappage. lol. *for what it's worth...you'll be even happier w/ a single antenna.

 

Shane once again thanks for photo whoring....LOL But honestly it looks great in your truck. I would like to put mine there but that would drive me crazy thats why I went the easy route instead of the OHC I put in the mirror that tells me temp. and compass.

 

Does anyone know if a Cobra 29 will fit inside a Ranger or expo center console?

 

shane your right but i am gunna keep it as is, it works., but does your handle thingy come off its holder?? mine does and normally hits the passenger in the face when wheelin, lmao

 

Yea....umm.....i do have that little issue. Except it always tends to fly and hit ME in the face. lol. I plan on resolving that issue with one of those zip line/retract cord things to keep the mic from hitting people. Otherwise, i completely remove the mic and throw it in the center console.

 

lmao i think its soooo funny, but yea my gf doesnt like it, and when she aint happy i... well you know how it goes

 

Oh yea...know how that goes. BUT....most the chicks i hang with LOVE wheelin' , so they don't mind at all. lol. they're still like WTF!? when it happens though.

I'm actually thinking about one of those....or modding the explorer ohc into the shifter bezel/cupholder thingy. idk.

I'll find out for ya tomorrow. You're talking inside the console cubby? I can show you in a shorty...give me some time and i can find out if it fits in a full length(2 locals have 'em).

 

Am I one of them shane? lol

 

took ash tray out and mounted it there mine is one of the smaller ones a midland 40 channel..didnt use ash tray anyway so that was a plus.

 

This is where I put mine.....for now anyways.
