On my original Tracker I had the radio mounted under the dash at my knees...bad spot.  I banged my shins more then once while wheelin (I am a rather large fellow!).  On my latest 'Kick I removed the rear view mirror and put it there.  I like this setup much better.  I have no trim panels on my truck (base model), so I put the power and antenna in split loom and ran it down the passenger side pillar.  It's not (too) noticable.   :-/
Can get pics if you want...

Since I considered doing the same thing I'd really like to see the pics. Mine is mounted high enough now that it has not created a problem but overhead seems to be the most logical place to install it. The CB I have is small enough that the mirror would not have to be removed.

Radioschmack 102' on the back or I'll sometimes switch it to the Wilson fiberglass on the front fender which is hooked up to the scanner normally... if I get tired of the 102.

I hear Wilson is one of the best, what do you think?

Sorry, just saw the reply now.  I checked the email replies but didn't get anything.  Will get some pics and send ya's the link.

yep,

I installed mine under the glove box on the passenger side, seems to fit in good there.

Thanks Terry.

     What does your passenger say?  
                      ouch!!?

i have a 31" spare and when i hit a bumb i can hear it pop and make a loud bang from the tailgate but oh well better to have a full size spare then a pretty tailgate, atleast if the spare doesnt fly off while im driving

OK, finally got a couple of pictures.  Yes, that's frost on the inside of the roof and the cb, -45C here this morning.  Sorry for the pic quality but it's dark when I leave for work and dark when I get home.  No time to take them while I'm at work (like now) so I can't get it done in day light.

As you can see from the drivers view (camera sitting at my eye level) it doesn't really get in the way of the view of the road or things off to the right of the truck.

Yea, but does the mike ever come off and hit you in the head?

where is the best place other then on the back bumper to place the antenna ?? i got my cobra cb all i need is the antenna and a place to put it hehe

Well, in a nut shell.....YES  I didn't say it was a perfect installation...

Thanks Terry, it looks great. I'm considering moving mine up there when I find a suitable way to hide the wiring.

UberAsuna, I think this is the best place for ease of installation. No problem grounding the bracket like it would be on the tailgate and on my '96 automatic there is a grommet just above the gas pedal that makes it easy to get the antenna wire inside. Proper grounding is important if you want a correct SWR. On channel 1 my SWR barely moves the needle and on channel 19 it's about 1.5 so I'm happy. I have changed the antenna since I took this picture and now have a 48" Firestik, works much better.

OK, I was allowed to leave early today and get out into some daylight, I'm not nocturnal after all.
Here's 2 more in daylight, but I think it was too dark for the pillar pic to show up, looks like there was no flash...

Guess I can bring that stick of AfterBite in off the visor, not much chance of bug bites in this weather.

And yes, the big V on the windshield is due to the cold, -41 and the heater just can't cut it down here.  Temp should let up later this week, or I guess I could put the hard top on.....pffft, too much work.

Your wires look fine. -41! Does afterbite work on frostbite?
