I love the perks of working for a Toyota dealership....had the timing belt, water pump, thermostat, radiator hoses, and fan belts replaced today.

Rig runs good, and got a clean bill of health from my lead tech.

are you sure all that work wasnt to get to the very hard to reach blinker fluid reservoir?

Started the mods today...installed my CB in place of the ashtray. I need to order a mount, coax, and antenna as my old setup went with my rig....any recommendations for a mount? I was going to use the same firestik mount I had on my old rig. I guess I should have kept it.

The PO had installed a hood mount antenna, but I hate those so I removed it today.

Wilson lil wil mag mount on the roof. IMO they out perform a fiberglass whip. They are small, light and on the roof where they work good, have a proper ground plane and are out of the way. I have my coax run down the inside of the rear hatch to the tail light. From there it enters the cab and I run it under the carpet on the passenger side all the way up to the dash.

They can be had from all over the place. I got mine at a local truck stop.

look at my CB antenna mount thread here: http://www.ultimateyota.com/index.ph...6&topic=5097.0

i am going to start making them SOON. within the month.

OR, wait until you get a rear bumper and mount it there.

i used the firestik mount, and it sucked. thats why i built the one i had. i still have my old prototype one somewhere, i could hand that one off to you until you get a proper rear bumper.

just let me know.
