Hey, here's a pic of our latest mod. It was super difficult getting the packaging off, but I think it looks real cool on the work bench. What do you all think?

Ken,
I actually almost bought that one. That is the cobra right? I wound up buying a cobra handheld so I wouldn't have to deal with an antenna. If there is any "drilling" involved, make sure you measure at least twice!! I'd like to see some pictures of the unit and the antenna mount after it is installed.

Oh goody! Maybe mine will come today to!! If it does, I'll post pics!

I have the same setup, and you can install everything without drilling if you use enough duct tape and cable ties </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

Ditto. Have that one too. No drilling required.

Make sure to post some pics once you get it installed.

nice kit. you may want to consider loosing the spring mount for that firestick. they are so thick the wind will blow them at a back angle, causing you to loose valuable distance in how far you can send and recieve.....

DAMN!!! I just got home and realized I have to turn the page. CRAP and thanks alot!!!

Ok, I think I'll have to actually put the CB in the truck to make it work. Crapdamn...

As to the spring, well hell, everything else is screwed up now.

I'll never get this junk to work...

Just remember Ken, in spite of what some may say, you really do need to tear out the center console and dash to install two wires and a coax.

I installed mine with out creating any new screw marks. Definitely install under the center console but also you can put the cable under the seat then place it under the easily removed plastic piece at the bottom of the rear door entry (lots of space), then run wire in to the rubber seal along the back door, bring up to roof and attach to antenna(s). Works fabulously and is very clean.

The hand held is placed to the right of the steering wheel where the original screw is in the dash!!j Haha!!

I'll get pics if you want them!!

I hate wiring through the front marker lights.

I never touched the front market lights but I'm not certain where your antennas are going to be? Best place for them, from what I've been told, are in the rear of the vehicle. Could be wrong though!

You'll see with the pics.

Does the door close on the coax?

It's easy. Make sure to fill it up with silicone sealant.
BTW, I've got the same set up. I think you might have an issue with the antenna mount, though.

Ken, mine's better since it doesn't have any red on it. It's all black and sliver/pewter. Plus from the sounds of it, I got mine done faster than you...I used a knife.

NO there is an odd little gap - mine is run the same way. It's clean, easy, and works! I'll post some pics in a little bit...

Sean

Ken - FWIW, this is how I ran mine. Of course, through the marker light would be a bit more professional and be totally invisible, but I agree - it's a PITA!!!

Sean

Hmm, that looks like

Hey Ken,
I have the same set-up with duel mounted 4 ft. sticks, easy to install, and drilled no holes, mounted the duels to the tail light guards, and looks sweet, works great!...good luck with yours!<BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><div class="ip-ubbcode-quote-title">quote:</div><div class="ip-ubbcode-quote-content">Originally posted by KenP:

Bondage,
Wouldn't gorilla glue look a little foamy brown??? Thats the way it always looks when I use it?

If you think it needs more securing I think it'd look better with a well cut strip of roofing rubber.

My coax just runs out the top of the door over the black trim. No need to try to stuff if down in a crack.

any pics of the install process/route or the finished install?

Ha. Tough install Ken . I wish I were in your shoes right now. I'm installing GPS, here's some pics. Ever wonder whats under the dog house of the H1?

Alot of ****...

Here's a pic of my CB, as far as I'm concerned it doesnt get much better. The switches above are for my lights and DVD system.

Harky, I love that interior. Did you do that yourself?

That's a lot of wires. It looks like your dash threw up. No wonder you little monkeys take so long doing stuff.

Here is how i mounted my antenna. i use a 4' firestix o-ground plane.........i can send and recieve up to about 25 miles.......

No. Most of the work was done by the previous owner. I cant afford to add all that stuff, the wood trim alone is about 2700.00. I've added sattelite radio and now the GPS to the inside, there's really not much that can be done to the interior, its already so modified. I dont know who your wheeling with, but it doesnt take that long. Thats only about 45 minutes of work for me. Now, that alternator problem is another story...
