i have a 2002 vit. and im looking to get a CB but dont know where to put it! any help

I have an 02 Tracker mine is mounted to the screw hole at the front of the center console on the drivers side

any pics?

we run vhf, same idea, anyway i bolted mine to the pass side of the center consol, just had to make sure i put it up far enough that the front seat could still move forward.....that was the best spot i found for mine.

'90 Track

I have a compact Cobra that's screwed to the back of the center console.

I mounted mine in the console below the radio. Will post pics later.

Looks great tucked in under the stereo, was the instal difficult?

Anyone else care to share photo's of their CB set ups? I'm looking for inspiration

Thanks!  It wasnt too hard to install, but I did get lucky on the size of this particular cb.  (cobra 18 wxst)  It has a front mount speaker which made it ideal for in dash mounting.  If you use an external speaker I suppose any cb could be mounted this way.  It was such a tight fit between the radio and brace below that I didnt need to bolt it in.  Plus when I trimmed the center console bezel, it really holds it in tight.  The hardest part of the install was getting the antenna cable to work.  I had to use a 90 degree adapter to keep the cb from sticking out another 2 inches.  It was hitting the heater box.  I made a brace to go across my roof racks that holds my antenna.  I will post pics of that later.

Sorry for the crappy cell phone pics, the antenna on the cross bar is for the cb.  The  smaller whip is for my police scanner!

Yes... CB and Ham.

For the Ham antenna, it's easy, just get a hood lip mount for your antenna.

For the CB antenna, I used the Firestik universal hood mount. It was great, fully adjustable for the slope angle on the hood. Can't run anything gigantic up there though with the flimsy metal. IE: no 102's on the hood.   I'm planning to weld a mount for a 102 on the spare tire carrier, and will probably run an antenna switcher of some kind so when I'm out on the street I can still use the little mud duck fiberglass antenna, and still get in the garage.



Inside, I'm running the ham radio similar to how an above post is doing it. I have an aftermarket stereo, so I got the universal cover plate. My radio has a removable faceplate so it's screwed to the cover. The radio itself along with an external speaker are under the passenger seat.



My CB is mounted to the back of the center console... and that box behind it helps it push 4 watts. Yep.

Very cool setup.  I see you have your ham mounted in the dash like I mounted my cb.  Looks very clean!

I`m looking to set up my CB this weekend and I've got an embarrassing question...

Where'd y'all run your wiring? I had a quick look tonight and I can't see any place where i could easily run my antenna cable from under the hood through to the cabin....
