    I did some search’s but didn’t find any posts.
    Has anyone installed a cb in first gen?
    Looking for ideas without having to put screws in dash or mess up anything.

    Thinking about installing my cb I used when I drove semi’s in the tundra.

    I’m thinking somewhere in this area but. Don’t really want to put screw hole on it either.

    I used a midland handheld unit in my corvette with a licence plate mounted firestick.

    A good antenna will get you good resultas and you don't have to mount anything on your dash.

    I only got about 2 miles in the vette, but that was due to no ground plane.

    Last weekend I mounted a molle panel on the passenger side of the center console and then mounted a CB radio to that. I'll take a couple photos tomorrow morning.
    Here are a couple photos I already posted of just the molle panel.

    I've considered something like that for when (and if) the wife and I are able to get a dump truck. Since the Tundra would also go out as a support truck (to haul the tools), a CB would be a lot more convenient than using the cell phones.

    However, it's pretty hilly around here so I wouldn't get much range.....

    mine is pretty stout. Not as good as my good one that for stolen, but due to tuning has to have certain length coax with prefentialy a whip.

    Got this aluminum molle designed for a sunvisor on Amazon at the end of last year for $18 but now it appears to be $24. I thought there were two panels in the box but according to the listing it only includes one. I thought this was a better deal than the $40 -100 molle panels with poor finishes that I was seeing for truck interiors.

    I second the Midland handheld. The convenience of portability is nice.
    Yeah I know know about cell service in WV, I've seen the Wrong Turn movies :rofl:

    Zip tied the bracket for now and I still need to get a cig lighter plugin for power. I want to keep the radio semi portable.
