CB install
Hello all. I have an 02 limited and was wondering if so be who has a 3rd gen knows a good spot to install a CB perminatly.
I have an after market CD player and its small but there is no room in the dash and the shifter makes installing something in the lower part very hard. I recently got a uniden bearcat 880 and need to find a good spot to install it. Any tips? Thanks Jp |

I recently got a uniden bearcat 880 and need to find a good spot to install it. Any tips? Thanks Jp I decided to take the center cubby below the CD player and remove it and it looked like it would have fit the bear cat just fine :( oh well a little to late. Anyhow back to the CB. I decided to keep the cubby thing so I cut the back otta it and slipped my CB into it. It was a little lose and slipped around a bit so I decided instead of drilling it in and risking drilling into a wire I used industry strength Velcro :) it worked great. I then took electrical tape and put it over the back of the cubby box so nothing will slip behind it. All in all I am very pleased with the results. I took pictures and will post them later. |
Here are a few pics if anyone is interested. I may end up buying another ear cat and putting it in there but for ow this works great!
