Got my CB installed this weekend. Went with the Cobra 75WXST with a 2' Firestik antenna. Here's a shot of all the stuff.

A dead battery in the morning contradicts this statement. The Power Supply plugs in the dash are hot all the time and do not turn off in 20 minutes. Found out the hard way.
Got the antenna mounted. It now offsets the factory radio antenna by being mounted on the opposite side in the same location on the fender. Ran the antenna wire from behind glove box, out a grommet hole in the frame above the front door hinge (silicon sealed the grommet when done) up and over the top behind the cowling trim and into the other side fender. This way it was invisible and does not interfere with anything.

I added a fold-over mount so I can drop the antenna when I go through a low-hanging area. The reason I mounted the antenna where I did is so I can reach it out the drivers window. Thanks to the H2 guys for that idea.

Sewie how do you like the CB radio you installed back in Oct. Is everything working good, and or have you changed anything from your origional install? Wondering because I am thinking about installing one in my H3.

Pull the rubber door seal back and there are two screws on the side.

The antenna. I need to bend the mount a little. It is flush-mounted to the roof trim so the antenna leans out a little.

looks great, I will do the same where you put the unit inside the center console, but how did you remove the face cover of the center console? and if you could give us more detail on how did you tap the power?...thanks. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>
The face plate is held in with clips. Move the shifter all the way back, stick your fingers in the aux outlets and pull up/out. There are about 4-5 plugs you have to remove to get it all the way out.
For the power, the wires should all be labeled. They were bundled just above the light you see in the picture.
One note about that mounting location. Make sure you tune your antenna before you mount the box since it is pretty hard to get to afterwards.

Everything's working ok but I am thinking about moving the antenna to the rear bumper and adding a spring mount. Most of the areas I've been I can't leave the antenna up so transmitting sucks.

I used the Firestik Ram pickup mount kit and mounted it to the roof trim using the existing screw hole above the driver's window.

I ran the coax under the drivers side and up into the door sill. There are some existing grommets underneath.

I like the Radio/antenna set up I had the same one in my Xterra. Saved the radio but the antenna went.
