Overland_TRD's MGM Build and Travel Journal : Pic heavy

Nice build

 

You will have to pull the clamps off, but no you don't have t0o pull of the entire shell. Depending on what shell you have you may need to do a little bending to make the mount fit properly, they all have a different amount of overhang into the bed.

 

Thanks man!

 

So I originally had a Cobra 75 WXST, which don't get me wrong is a really great CB. But for me I wanted the unit in combination with the handheld portion and that was not a possibility with this radio, so yes I made a downgrade to a Uniden Pro505Xl. This radio will fit either where I mounted it, in the change tray next to the shifter, or in the side of the center console. The location I mounted was more for ease of install and easy access, I will most likely relocate it next to the shifter as anyone who is under 6'4" cannot drive my truck as the seat does not move forward far enough. But the install was smooth and with the tuner I bought I got a nice signal and a decent distance.

Haven't been up to much recently but just got some MAXTRAX knock offs which work just as good. Also got a camera so be prepared for some high quality pictures.

 

Here's a couple pic from the last Moab trip.

And some from a Moab trip tossed in between!

 

Nice build! Keep the pictures coming.
