CB Radio Mounting Ideas

[Kaos]

Looking to put a full size CB radio in my Ranger. I have a small one in there already but it doesn't do all that I want so I'm upgrading. I've racked my brain and can't come up w/ a good way to mount a full sized CB in there so that it's out of my way but easily accessible. Hopefully someone here will post something that I can use or that will give me an idea of what to do. TIA.

I'm mounting one to, what I'm going to do is get those 2 sided sticky pads and put the radio on the dash above where the radio is.

Ya know, just so happens that there is a thread in the Communications forum about CB mounting locations....

Just FYI....

If you can keep the wires out of the way, maybe up above your rear view mirror*?

*Assuming you don't already have an Explorer OHC or radar detector up there already.

What year interior are we working with here?

Current interior pictures? Figure out your antenna mounting place yet?

Not mine but my interior is almost exactly like this one (except mine has power windows):

My current radio is mounted in front of the shifter just behind the duct. It's only a 6"x6" radio and barely fits there.

As for the antenna, I'm going to modify a couple of mirror mounts from E-Bay. I'm going to mount them to the front of my tool box and have one on the drivers side and one on the passengers side. Once done I will have 2 radios in the truck, one CB and one marine. We use both around here. The antenna's will be 102" whips.
