    Yes
    It's just a very poor performing radio. Receive and transmit are weak, it picks up a lot of noise and there are no adjustments inside the radio. And for the price you could have a Cobra 29 which is much better.

    thats what i wanted to hear, im sure its around here in this thread but i dont want to go back and read all of them just to see if it sucks, i saw that two ppl had them installed in there truck and i liked how nolawall has it right under the stereo, i have the midland and i hear that its a really good radio for the price i just dont know where to put it so it can look clean and not get it the way.

    Maybe drill out the underside of the bar so the stud will fit through it? Then the top side just enough to fit.

    i was thinking about doing that but the last person that had the tire carrier had it like this without making the hole bigger, i just talked to him through PM and he told me what he used, he took out the coax thread and replaced it with a long bolt and got this wire. http://www.amazon.com/Firestik-Anten...nna+coax+cable
    if i make the hole bigger on the bottom it will get water in there and rust the tube from the inside, i want to close it up completely so it can stay dry inside the tube.

    Well I had my 18 peaked and tuned and it had done just as good or better than my 19 I had in my jeep. The weatherband is great. It's not going to be a cobra 29 or anything like that but it does what I need it to do. When I got this radio I read a lot of opinions on this radio and it was worth it to me due to the fact that it fits in the dash and it was a clean look. That radio has done well.

    how did you mount your antennas? i want to buy a cobra 29 and put it under my seat and get a 4' firestik to go along with it.

    but how did you mount yours? i have a first gen and wanted to mount it right behind the cab on the passenger side ... my bed has a spray in liner if that makes a difference

    thanks for the help taco prerunner. but i already fixed the problem, i just replaced the coax connector with a long enough bolt to go through the tube, i just need to get this cable http://www.amazon.com/Firestik-Anten...nna+coax+cable
    with that end so i can put it through the bolt, rightnow i just have the antenna just for looks. I still haven't found a spot to install my cb radio. i want to put it where the ash tray is but i need to see or info on how they did it cause it wont fit how some people have it, i dont want to screw it up and cut the trim too much.

    I'm just not a fan of Firestik products. I never had good luck with them. I am to Firestik as Whippersnapper is to Flowmaster. :cheers:

    Where/how can I mount an antenna on a 2nd Gen Tacoma without having to drill into the bodywork or bed? Thanks.
