Hey Ken,
I didn't take any pictures of the install process, but it was real simple, I tied the hot wire to a rocker switch hot side that I have for my K.C. Lites, and ground the C.B. to the ground on same switch. I mounted the box part of the C.B. wiring to the underside of the firewall behind the console with self tapping screws, so that it is out of the way, and conceld very well. I installed a spliter on the coax, and ran the coax out the firewall thought the wiring harness grommet and ran the coax down both sides of the frame to also hide the coax. I used heavy duty zip ties to hold it in place, and came out at the rear bumber on both side between the bumber and the rubber seal that is flexable. (This is the only place that the coax is even visible....also I used a grey coax cable, that is so close to the pewter color of my rig that it is hardly even noticed.) Once up from the bumber, I used simple alum. ant. mounting brackets that I painted blk and bolted them to my rear tail light guards. Installed sticks, zip tied the coax up neatly at rear tail light gaurds,and the job was finished. Took all of about 1 hour to do. By running two coax to each stick, I was able to get a longer run of cable,(About 18' of cable both side)so my reception is great! The only problem with the whole install was where to install the hand-held...I have my cell phone installed where I would like to place it...So I have a new cell phone mount on order, and when it comes in, I will install the mic. in its new home!, but for now, the mic is laid over the console.

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:
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?

Here's the linky.
