I have a CB that I want to install in my Bronco, actually I have about ten cb's that I've gathered over the years but the one that I picked to install is a Galaxy DX66V. It's a full size trucker's cb. I don't see any place under the dash where it would fit. The console is already taken up with amplifiers. I really want to mount it overhead but I don't know if I'd end up putting a screw through the roof. That would seriously p*** me off! Also the wire for the overhead light, I don't want to hit that. I don't know how it's routed. But I can't peel back the headlner to see what's going on in there because once you take this kind off you'll never get it put back on right and mine is perfect so I don't want to ruin it. My only other idea is to get one of those mounts that screws down to the floor on the transmision tunnel. But I really want it to go overhead, like in a big rig.

Any suggestons, and especially any pictures of cb's mounted in your Broncos would be very helpful.

Thanks!

 

No pics but I have seen some pretty big units stood on end at the front of the console. Also, the tranny hump is a good place.....angling it for visual clarity.

 

The trim plate on the top edge of the windshield looks like plastic, but it actually isn't, it's metal, you can drill there and use the screw holes of the map-lights to install a center console or plate in the roof to add you CB.

 

i would think under the dash would work perfectly ive seen it done before looks great there

 

Yeah, I was going to post a question about this...I was thinking about up above the mirror since I have a manual.

 

I mounted mine in the roof; it's double wall, so you won't go through if you use short screws. I used two riv nuts rather than screws, but screws are fine. Use a self tapper with a small pilot and you'll be fine.

 

Couple options... I installed a CB in an old truck I had from the headliner using the stock CB mount bracket. I pulled the front of the headliner down just enough for access. Punched two holes through the headliner with an awl and inserted two short stove bolts with large fender washers through the headliner through the bracket. Run the power and antenna cable along the headliner and doen behind the A-pillar. Never had any issues with the liner sagging as a result of the extra weight from the CB either. What I do now is... I made a "L" shaped bracket that the radio bolts to then the bracket will slide under the bench seat in a truck or in a Bronco's case, loosen up the bolts holding the console and slide it under then re-tighten the bolts.
