cobra cb setup mount in ashtray spot

so....anyone with the cobra ultra 19 111 that mounted the setup in the ash tray location on a first gen tacoma(mainly......an 04 or the like), what did you have to do to make it fit correctly? what all besides the slide in ash tray was removed?? appreciate the info. going to get mine installed and wired.........just looking for pointers from those who have done it already.

 

i did not install the cobra, i put a uniden in there. if you are planning on putting it there then they are probably around the same size. all i did was take the ashtray out and then the mount for it out. there were 2 screws that held the mount in, i dont remember any cutting. the mount for the cb had 2 screw holes that lined up perfectly. i will get some pictures on here soon. hope this helped out some

 

sorry, it is a midland not a uniden. at the time it was one of the only ones i could find that would fit in that spot. here is a few pics of it







when i dont have the cb handle installed, my gerber tool fits perfectly on the handle mount. i think it looks pretty good to.


let us know how it goes.

 

appreciate it man. yeah...that did actually help out. i took the sh tray out today...gotta take the mount for it out now and get the cb mounted.

 

nice setup man. thats how im gonna mount mine...only thing is,i got an auto....the shifter is kinda awkward in position, so i may have to work around it a bit.

 

is this a first time Will needs info on how to do a mod? lol just messin with ya Will

 

but.....i call it just getting ideas!!

 

Sureeeeee

 

I used a Uniden and had to do a little trimming with a dremel to make it sit in far enough.

 

I haven't figured out how to insert more than one pic at a time in a post.

 

Outstanding install tacomaman06 ! been trying to figure out how to install a cobra 29 and linear in my truck. the linear i can handle. i think it'll go behind the rear seats. can wire it no sweat. just the size of the cb has got me as there's really no place that'll fit. i like the cb and i hate to abandon it for a smaller one as i've got it tweaked & peaked. may have to , though. looks like the size y'all have is the ticket for an upfront install

 

thanks for the tips and pics man!

gonna be installing mine on saturday......hopefully it aint gonna rain!

by the way....we are having an offroading/camping/fishing meet at uwharrie in april 17th thru the 19th....you oughtta come on out! good times!

 

yeah...took the ash tray out a couple of days ago....now.....when i turn the lights on....damn near lights up the whole floor! gonna fix that too!

 

how didyou run your antenna cable and power? I have the midland same size adn an 04 double cab. love that ashtray mount you did

 

i installed my antenna on my toolbox......ran the wires over the back of the bed down and thru a grommet on the very back of the cab. its a pain in the ass running the cable under the seat, but once you get it thru, its easy breezy after that.

 

awesome! i have heard people talk about that grommet, just no clue where it is

 

just look close to the passenger side near the bottom on the back of the cab...you'll see it.

 

found it, thanks!
