Just in front of my left knee.  It's close, but I've never hit it yet.  repeater speaker is on the back of teh central cubby box so it's central in teh truck for all to hear.

mine is between the driver seat and centre console. I chose here as it is out the way and also I can rest my elbow on the cubby box and my fingers sit neatly on the squelch button to easily adjust it whilst on the move.

mine is of a large vintage variety, and as such sits nicely in the glove box (or glove hole to be more accurate)

Upload the image to your mud-club gallery... then view the pic... then right click on it and go to properties and copy the URL.... then in the message, click the "img" button near the top, pste the url and click the "Img" button a second time.

cant help but think some of the dash mounted ones could obscure view of the road (or off-road..!) thus could be iffy come MOT time

also highly visable to local scrotes.. who think its a "proper wicked cd player innit?"  :lol:

Ja1983

even with the rig on the dash the bonnet front is still hiding the road more and also with the slide mount it comes out in a flash so it can be hidden or taken out .

I like having it in the middle of the dash because every one in the car can use it :D  :D
