that's fine. we dont need pictures of the install. I didn't really plan on doing a write up. haha. so the conclusion is all that matters right now... be sure to put the pictures you took on your photobucket so I can grab them off and share them here.

I know it is off topic but you have the same CD deck I do. That's a great clean finished product you have with the cb!

yeah its just a 4' firestik. also, Look at your mount. you have yours upside down... heh and plus I mounted mine above my tail light

It was actually really easy to install. I pulled all the panels off on the passenger side leaning to the back of the truck. and ran the antenna wire through. and to install the radio I pulled apart the lower part of my dash and cut out the plastic required to fit the box and just velcro'd it up

A choke on the 12v to the CB should help that. Radio Shack sells those.
