well...

 

Yes, I have one. I will try to get some pics. Also do a search, I asked this question a few months back and got some good responses with pictures.

 

Could you post a link of the thread because I just joined and I'm unfamiliar with the searches and all that.

 

Here you go.

If you need some CB stuff CB City has about anything you need.

 

Just put mine in last week. I have an el cheapo Radio Hack special with a nice firestick antenna. I mounted the antenna on the bed rail closest to the rear window and ran the cable down between the bed and the cab. There is a small vent in the cab that is covered with a small flap. You can run the cable in that way (can't see it...it's a feel job). I have an XLT that does not have an ashtray but does have a useless shelft below the cigarette lighter. The shelf unbolts after prying the radio bezzel off. I Dremeled a rectangle out for it to fit. Looks great and I'll get some pics up soon. Email me and I'll probably get them to you faster. Just got back from Tennessee today...saved me some tickets I'm sure!

just wondering, how many people use cb's now days? i got one for xmas. i cant decide what to put it in, the truck, or the baja bug. the truck is a daily driver, but it would be nice in the baja if i get broken down somewhere with no cell phone service

 

If I am stuck in traffic I use mine.

 

I use mine as well. Always comes in handy for getting up to date road condtition information.

My 2004 F-150 radio install.

 

Has anyone put one in the spot under the cig lighter?

 

with a center console? i will soon, this month probably. stay tuned..

 

Yea, with a center console.

 

Let us know how that install goes. Take and post some step by step pics. I considered putting mine where the ashtray is but realized that with the center console, that when the shifter was in park it would hit the mic plug. Now if one could do it where the cig-lighter is and make it a clean install I might consider moving mine from where it is now. At the time I did my install the overhead rail install seemed to be the easiest and most do-able at the time. I didn't want to start an install that would wreck the trim of the dash. By getting an extra storage bin and modifying it I avoided muffing anything up. I was actually able to modify the bin so that all the cutting is hidden and I can actually reinstall the bin door at a later date if I ever trade again.
Again, let us know how the install turns out.

Thanks!!

 

I mouted mine under the dash cup holders...I don't have a flow through. I'm getting ready to post a bunch of pics of my interior so you will have to wait a few hours to see.

 

which overhead rail storage package do you have?
