I saw the pictures of guys cb installations. im sorry, they were terrible. i wanted to put a cobra 29 ltd in my 1999 ranger. after several months of trying to figure out how to mount one i decided to go ahead and get the radio then see where it fits. i didnt want to cut any of my interior so i ran the co-ax through the drain plug in the passenger side to the transmission hump where seemed like my only choice. as i was going to mountt the bracket to the side of the x-mission i found that i couldnt because of the center console. the half inch thick carpet is even with it. i couldnt mount it on the side of the plastic console because its slightly curved, so i got the idea to put about a one inch spacer between the bracket and the floor panel beside the x-mission and screw in some long self tapping screws. you can cut two peices of pipe or use several washers or whatever and it looks ok. i thought the inserts even look crappy. i couldnt cut on my truck like that. i hope this helps someone. i cant beleive noone here thought about doing it that way. also, if you use a spacer you can tilt it toward you. keep on truckin, dan.
