best place to mount a CB Radio?

i just recently got a part time job escorting oversize loads in my tacoma which means i have to mount a cb radio somewhere in my truck

what do you think is the best/easiest way to do this?


2000 toyota tacoma SR5

If you get a Uniden 520xl.... it fits PERFECTLY where the ashtray is (on the first gen trucks).

 

I built a wooden stand for mine that sits right behind the center console..... I will try to get some pics on here if I can remember..... also the radio clips the the sunglasses holder nice!

 

got some pics of my setup:



The sun glasses holder works well for the radio to hang

 

away from all other electrical stuff.
I'm having problems with interference

 

was your cb metered in???

 

yea, but im not sure the guy who did it REALLY knew what he was doing. he said "you within 5%"
I said ok... thanks and left... you have an swr I can borrow?

 

yeah i dont think thats very good mine is within 1.5% i was told i dont do my own sorry

 

hmm, maybe that's the problem then... when I can afford an swr i'll work with it

Will this work with my cobra 18?

 

I don't see why not because the cb shop that i got has only one that he uses on cb..... im not that good with working on cb i just use mine alot lol
