Where is everyone mounting their CB/Ham mics?

[NomadPNW]

So my mounting idea didn’t work with my cell mount due to my truck being difficult. I have a GMRS mic I need mounted. Where is everyone hanging or clipping their mics?

Am yet to do my install for radios but the pro clips make nice options. Tons of YouTube videos covering their options.

Just finished mounting my Midland and am also trying to find a place. Only place I see is just to the right of the 4x4 switches. 2020 3500 Longhorn.

Where did you mount the body of the unit? I hid mine in the main glove box and the ran the mic wire under the glovebox door. I can’t get the sticky mic clip to hold onto any of the plastic in this truck lol

Installed the main unit in the center conceal at the bottom of it there is a 5x5x1.5 pocket toward the bottom front of it, fits Perfect in that little open space. Need to run permanent power to it hoping to use the AUX switch pass-thru # 6 for power once I understand the way it hooks up to the gray connector under dash .

I installed my Motorola UHF M1225 radio in the little drawer under the center dash controls, and used a Larsen puck type antenna on the roof. The 5" tall antenna I used on my previous truck won't clear the garage door since the 2500 is taller. Was originally gonna install the radio in the bottom front seat storage compartment, but after a closer look there was a anti roll over module device there, wasn't sure if radio transmit would cause it to wack out. We use these radios when we travel in a group, and have them installed on our side x sides etc.

Looking at your picture, how do you have the light mounted by your hood? (Nomad)

It’s the Baja Designs A-Pilar bracket for the 5th gens. It mount to a fender bolt under the cowl, simple bolt on and no modding needed. Then I got a bracket from CaliRasiedLED to mount my antenna on to.

Look at the dash camera thread. I've posted in many places the wiring diagram for bringing an AUX switch back into the cab using the pass through circuit and the grey upfitter jumper for that and also picking up IGN and BAT power.

I have a tradesman w/o the pullout drawer. I mounted my scanner and CB to that.

Clean.

I have a uniden home patrol on top of my dash. Going to create a mount for it. Planning on cb and dual band under the seat.

Thought I would toss an update Got it all handled with the help of Bulletproof Mounting Solutions and some modding, tossed the main unit in my glovebox. Other arm is for a phone or GoPro clip. Rock solid mounting!

 

[farmallboy]

Clean install!

I looked at those midlands. They are the bear "remote control cb" IMO. How do you like it?

Thanks for the mount name. I'll be looking them up.

I love it so far, the quality from CB is night and day . The fact you can rock handhelds and all the trucks while off roading is amazing. Has the weather channels too so that’s always fun. I find CBs just out dated, range is poor, you need really long grounded antenna. GMRS just works and it works all the time.

GMRS.

Did you take the center console out for that install? That’s epic!!! I couldn’t figure out how to get it to fit in that pocket.

Nope, just fit in with no modifications I went with a easy bend coax with a rugged radio .5 antenna. I have reach out about 35 miles with Sitcom and can easily reach a Repeater about 40 miles away.
