Ken, did you ever check your tuning? When I bought my antenna at a CB shop the guy told me with the cobra and firestick they should be pretty close to spot on. Said he;s never seen that setup that needed adjustment. Rods results seem to back that theory.

So wondering of you tested and what you got so I can see if I should bother with tuning.

Nice install BTW. I'm doing mine very different and will post my install and ideas.

Mounting the antenna was a pain because I really didn't have the right mount. But I'm a clever fellow and mounted it on top of the roof rack. The lower bolt fit into the top groove perfectly to hold it snug. I also used a large washer on top.

I know, blurry pic.

On the bright side, at least you can reach her on the CB

I pulled the console and according to Klaus's instructions the shift console should pull out with a firm tug. That's assuming there's not good adhesion caused by spilled coffee. I lost two of the little clips and couldn't find them anywhere.

Let me know if you need help with your project Dave. I just had the dash apart last week so it's still pretty fresh in my head. The instructions are good so you should have any problems.

Sent you a PM about the trail run.

So the fricken SWR connects to the box?! Sum Bish!!

On the otherhand, I had it on for sometime today and was getting good reception. I should have gotten a radio-check.

Ok, thanks to Klaus for supplying me with the center console removal steps. It would have taken me hours to figure out how to move that thing.

Also, thanks to Rodster for idea of using the blank and to Tootsie for giving me pics of her's (what exactly she sent I'm not telling ).

So, here's what I did

Power wire (the red one you idiot). The large grey one is the coax and it's headed up the A-pillar.
