I used a gutter mount on mine and ran cable through back door and under the headlining.

You should get 235/85 16's on but you'll need a lift kit to evade any scrapeage.

We just fitted our antenna with a roof mount. Bit of a pain as there isn't a lot of room at the back to get your hands in!!! We put ours on the back, door hinge side and it has to be quite high up to give you enough room at the back to fit the coax.

As for tyre size, have a browse through the forum, plenty of posts about tyres!!

Can't help with the cubby box I'm afraid, we are on the look out for one ourselves. Seen one on e.bay today, but it is in blue......typical!

Can you get tyres in that size?

Have a look here http://members.shaw.ca/jbarge/tires.html for guidance.

If you're thinking about a lift kit have a look at Paddocks. We've just bought one from them, Britpart springs, pro-comp shocks, disslocation cones, spring retainers, extended break hoses and extended poly bump stops, all for 350 beer tokens.

With CB, what sort of distance do you think you'll be communicating over?

If you only want the rig for talking between vehicles on greenlanes & play sites then you could save drilling a hole in the roof and fit the aerial in the spare wheel carrier.

Have a look at this thread and this one for some ideas.  

This type of mount will protect the aerial from trees that try to rip it off but allow enough transmitter distance of a couple of miles. If you want to broadcast to the whole county then your best with it on the roof or gutter mount.
I moved mine cos I got through so many aerials that had the bottom coils broken by trees that I went for the wheel carrier mounting and it works fine.  :D

Looks like it will be 235/70/R16 the tyre calc syas its okay

The CB mount is going in a exsiting hole in the roof But will see how long that will last.

Now to source a Safari Snorkel Cheapest I can find is £169 from paddocks

You shouldnt need a lift kit to get 235/70 16's on.

Was the paddock's snorkel + vat. MM4x4 have them for £160, but i think that's plus vat.

I have one in the for sale section.

You can probably stretch to 225/75/16 - may need to trim the rear arches slightly but nothing too severe.

245/75/16 would fit as well with trimming but I think the 225/75 are more common.

Gutter mount on the rear - go down too tight a lane with a side mounted gutter mount and it just might not stay there for too long

Order your snorkel from paddocks on-line and you won't pay postage. MM4x4 are cheaper, but you will pay postage on top.
We have sent the last few weeks searching the internet for bits for our new Disco and we are on a tight budget, we're quite good on where to find a bargain at the moment!!
