'97 Ranger XLT, stock radio, Delphi SkyFi XM on a gooseneck.
I was using a lighter plug FM modulator for the XM unit (due to my aversion to working under the dash), but it has since crapped out on me.
I picked up the better FM modulator box (with FM antenna connections) and I'm hoping to put it in this weekend (it's supposed to be above freezing for change).
Question is: Where is a convenient location to mount the box?
It looks like I can make the power connection to the lighter socket (power wire has a male/female pair of quick disconnects) and the antenna connections by just removing the radio from the dash, but I'll still need somewhere to mount the unit and I really dread working down there. Darn dashboard goes almost to the floor (or at least it seems that way).
Anyone have any helpful hints to make this go a little easier?
Thanks...

I love it when people document what they've done with photos.
