Thread: CB Radio Mounting Locations

there is but it costs money........

we have an over head console in our new defender as we didn't want to go cutting things up

I've mounted mine on the front of the cubby box, it fills the space just in between the cubby box and the low range lever.

I did it here originally as a temporary spot until I got an overhead console but I now really like it in that position, it's really easy to use without reaching or taking your eyes off the road.

I made an over head consol. the idea came from YT who had purchased one ( im to cheep), hanging off brackets where the sun visors were and bolted though above the door frames, also put the CD player iPod and a couple of speakers ( Isuzu need the speakers in your face) plus an bigger speaker for the CB. Still leaves room for maps etc etc

G’day all,
Try this ‘General Forums – General Chat – Dashboard center Console’. It may fit the bill? I’d like to try and invert one and stick it on the roof???

Dullbird,
Did you buy an overhead console or did you make it yourself? If you bought one, what type was it?

x2 Its also a nice and easy spot to wire up the power as the batteries arent far away.

I'd go for on the front of the cubby box - except for me that's where the Nanocom lives (2006 Defender 110). I've looked at this as well, and decided my options ere either:
to mount it on the side of the console, although space is a bit tight there;
or down on the transmission tunnel, which is low and more likely to get knocked about.

Originally I thought that the blank spot beneath the radio would have been great, well, that was until I saw just how much needed to be taken apart to get at the area properly.

brought it think it ws outback consoles

Mine is mounted under the hood lining. the bracket mounts to the roof support and the hhod lining rests against the bottom of it. just cut a hole for the speaker and put a old speaker cover over the hole. works a treat if yours is detachable face. mines a gme electraphone tx3400.

cheers gaz
