Title: Where do you put your CB
Post by: Jim-Willy on August 15, 2005, 21:03:25: Hi, i've finally got around to getting a CB. I can't find anywhere to mount it except maybe bolted to the underside of the dash near the handbrake. Where do you all put yours?

Bloody LandRovers, theres nowhere to put owt!

In the 110 I made a roof console where it lives with the stereo

same for me - the starter kit from thunderpole has the right brackets so it will mount flush.

Ta for that :)

IMHO it's the place, ther's easy access to power as DIL mentioned and aerial cables can be routed under the dash making it look neater.

Post by: nostromo on August 18, 2005, 07:35:38: I've got a real nice diddy one about the size of 2 fag packets from the CB shack at lymm services. it's fixed to the bottom of the dash to the left of the gear lever.. it's out of the way and being so small and light it has taken some serious knocks off-road, and never moved. Only needed two small screws.

Cost Ã‚Â£70.00 and works for miles!

Post by: LandRoger on October 31, 2005, 19:24:55: I have mine mounted on front of cubby box , the wireing needs to be routed so its not near any other wireing-for best reception , the antenna is mounted above the back door and the cable is routed under side window and into the rear of cubby box. its ok mounting behind -above head untill you have an impact and it breaks free to crack your head open, ooochie.
