Looks good, but aren't you worried about it ripping the cup holder off completely when you have a drink in it, or just driving down the road? I like the cleanliness of it though :thumb:

 

looks good

 

I like that set-up but would be afraid too much weight with a drink and the radio or just radio alone.

 

forget about the weight of it, make sure you got lids on your cups lol
otherwise that might end up being bad
that's a really nice mounting idea
i ended up putting mine (on a 2000) in the little concave part of the dash below where the 4wd selector would be . . . if i had 4wd
except i had to block off a little cubby to get it to fit

only thing i would worry about doing it your way would be bending the wires too much
personally, i like to keep wires as straight as possible

 

I'm not so much concerned about too much weight that's a well built cup holder if you've ever looked at it...plus the CB almost touches the carpeting when down so if there's too much weight the cb will prevent it from breaking...plus I have those other 2 cup holders in the center fold down console :thumb:

 

I mounted mine there on my FX4 because there is cup holders in console. I put 2 screws through it to hold it closed all the time. Great location, out of the way. I had to put screws in the Magnum 6 radio weighs more than cobra.

 

i think it looks good

Looks good!

 

thats a great idea! i still need to figure out how/where to mount mine. im thinking a small radio and put it in the overhead counsle. well see...

 

every time you hit a bump does it fall down? I noticed that it does not close all the way. How do you like that mic? I need to get a new mic for my cobra

 

When driving it will stay up for a while then flop down, that's why I want to add some velcro or something, I wish that compartment had a nice latch to it or something instead of whatever return it has..I might try to find something a little neater than just velcro, but at least that would be easy to remove someday, I really wanted some solution that could be removed and not leave any holes or junk behind.

And the mic is fine, it's the one that came with the Cobra. I'm not a hardcore CB user so it does the job.

Thanks for the comments!

 

That looks pretty darn good!

 

Hay Bud: That's the BEST idea I've seen so far! Nice Job! Now if you could just keep the cup holder closed (or leave it down unless you nees the get to the radio)!

 

Yea looks clean to me!

 

looks good :thumb:

 

I like it! but i too would be worried about the cupholder breaking.

 

Where did you mount the antennae? I was thinking about mounting it on the bed somewhere behind the cab.

 

What kind of antenna? I put a wilson mag mount on the roof run coax down rear door weather strip under seats to radio.

 

I have (forget name) but you need a mounting bracket bracket of some sort for it. It is a stick with wire wraps around the outside.

 

I am know to the whole posting on forums concept- so forgive me if I am in the wrong location here, but can you put a PA system on that CB radio to talk to people outside the vehicle, almost like cops do?

 

know=(knew) sorry

 

I mounted mine right under the center cupholders, that way I can leave the cupholders closed and I can still use them if needed, however, I have a limited view of the screen. When you take it out, it also leaves no marks,the carpet hides the screw holes. I postedsome pics here

I tried to post here but the files where to big, so...

 

Rene G, I tried to view your pics but I am not a member of that forum so it wont allow me to do it.

 

p.m. me your e-mail and I'll send you them

 

I like the concept a lot. It looks like it may need some tweaking at some point.

 

Here it is

sorry about the diry truck!

 

Thanks for the pics!

 

Here is how I mounted mine in my 350. And no it does not hit my knees getting in or out of the truck or while driving.
