    On 2013 regular cab with bench seat, where is best place to mount a small CB radio? the space in center consul is too shallow so won't fit there, also best way to get antenna wire into cab area, thanks folks.

    Uniden Pro 520XL is the radio you want. I have a big collection of CB radios of various sizes and makes, and have owned many of the smaller cheaper models. Of those, the one I mentioned is the best in that size and price range by far. It is the only one that would fit in my Tacoma without getting in the way and it works great. Pair it with a Wilson antenna and you'll have a solid setup. Just make sure to get good grounding and don't forget to tune the antenna to the radio, and you'll be good to go.
