this is exactly mine. same seller and everything. thing is loud and crisp. i like yelling at people that walk by. haha

o and idk about all that testing. he changed his ad. but its the same one. and it works great in heavy rain too.

 

[99ebexpedition]

you nailed it on the head. thats what im bout to order.

 

[panda24619]

yeah i went to radio shack and orielys and all had 2 wires and/or cost an arm. so i looked around and ebay looked promissing. and then that worked. wish the wire was just a little bit longer. a foot or so. but other wise im happy. i think i have a how to up. its somewhere.

i guess u can do the antenna on roof top and install the radio at the centre of the dash

i had my cb mounted where the rear air controls were (EB version) but bought a smaller radio and it is in my center consol, i just ran a speaker to the little cubby part of the consol. i suggest just doing a magnet mount antenna. much easier. i am havin a hell of a time grounding my antennas on my roof rack crossbar....

 

[panda24619]

i would but i still dont trust them. i know theyre good but magnets wear out after awhile. do what walnuts has. i dont think hes having problems. but it is kind of far.

here is where i placed my cb and antenna

 

[panda24619]

nice old school radio. just like mine.
same place as mine. and walnuts too.

 

[treycool94]

how does that work with the pull out cup holders?

 

[panda24619]

it dont. i dont use them anyways. just to hold my reminders for oil changes. its in easy access too. for my reach i guess. i cant wait for tonight when im driving threw my schools parking structure to yell at people. haha

but if i need to use them i just take the remote and put in the center holder and then open the cup holders. i dont ever use them and about a month ago i opened them and found like $15. haha

 

[nvycrmn]

im not sure how your console is set up buy my rear air controls were on the console, not the overhead. so i just pulled out the rear air controls (set it on rear and tucked it under the console so you could still use the controls in the rear) and put my cb in there. it fit perfect. and i had no interference with the cup holders. i have since taken that one out, put a smaller one in my center console near the cd changer. i dont know if i have pics on here but i will try to find some.

 

[anjy834u]

wow , awesome pics..loved watching them

A bit late, but I am going to use the same method as a couple guys on the other forum. A cut up piece of angle iron sticking out from the tail lights, bolted to the sheet metal at the top.

From the gallery of one of the guys that did it (99 Expy)

ETA:
Basically the same as WALNUTS, but with a one piece bracket.
