Okay, finally took some pics. Having received my General License a few weeks ago and since the only CB traffic in my area is some hillbilly spammer, I decided to install a mobile HAM radio.
The antenna mount is a CBI Offroad, comes painted (which is a nice touch since everything else seems to come unpainted) and is very beefy. The install was easy and took about 30 minutes. The antenna is a Comet Super Slim Dual Band with a NMO base. The coax is RG-58.
I didn't take any pics but the wires were run through the firewall and down the drivers side kick place and into the drivers side storage compartment.
I used a 6-gang Blue Sea fuse block in the storage compartment. The positive and negative are 10 gauge run directly from the battery. This will allow me to add additional radios or other things in an easily accessible area.
The radio itself was screwed to the hatch cover measured 3" from the rear of the hatch to the rear of the mounting bracket. This allows easy access to the fuses and for programming.
The speaker was mounted to the back of the center console, has good sound and is out of the way.
The head unit is mounted to the top of the center console between the mic and my Steelie phone mount. It's within easy reach, easy visible without taking my eyes completely off the road and works well. The vents are also accessible so this isn't an issue. There is also a reason my the plastic trim around the radio looks hacked up. I originally had a Bearcat 980SSB CB below the radio. However, in order to make everything fit, I had to dremel the trim piece. I'll eventually replace the trim piece but it isn't a high priority right now.
Since I took out the CB and this is the method used while on the trails, I relocated the CB coax to one of the switch panels. I have a Midland 75-822 which will connect to the coax and the power plug is right next to it.
