Well I'm pretty late on this one but two mods spring to mind, one would be to modify the overhead light unit (although with sunroof wiring could get tricky)

The other idea would be to finally make something useful of that crappy center console dash between the seats

I like the centre console as it's handy for all the cr*p i've got front part in the dash has my gauges & USB socket for the stereo, under hand brake is good for phones, keys & stereo remote & the arm rest is good for storing other things but I do have a full arm rest in mine that can be used

Well new antenna fitted, nicely routed coax up to the dash top. In the end I decided to fit a DIN sized CB and the only place to fit it was on top of the dash. It don't look pretty and I always told myself that I would not put anything there and make holes in the dash, but as said it was the only choice. Just waiting for the CB to arrive - http://www.sigmaeurocomm.co.uk/TEAMR...SInfoPage.html

Need to sort out power to the two plus rigs. Am thinking of a heavy twin cable direct from the battery, fused on both lines. Need to decide on what distribution box to fit inside. Any ideas on the amp of the battery and each rig fuse? Battery fuses have to be greater than the individual rigs in case both are being used at the same time.

You can always wrap it in light grey material, using spray adhesive.
Carpet used for van sides stretches well.

That's the trouble with big old Din sized units. I'd have got a neat little Midland or similar and stuck it over the r/v mirror.
Hey ho , as Rustic said you can cover it . If you'd gone for a smaller one you could have modded a gauge pod off a Pajero or similar. Nice rounded edges and similar dash plastic finish.

Well pleased with the final result of fitting my CB. The main unit went under the passenger seat with an extension lead running under the centre console to the front side of the drivers seat into which I plug the mic, the mic can be quickly unplugged and as all wires out of site only thing left is the mic clip even that is adhesive so when removed just clean no holes. All controls and even speaker are in the mic so never need to go near the main unit and really clear to hear as speaker facing me.

Took a couple of pics though not much to see, so included a close up of that magic get me out of trouble switch as fitted to all Patrols the difflock.

Kind regards

Russell.







Jesus pictures are hard work on this forum!!!
