Believe it or not, I actually got EVERYTHING installed today!!! I got it all figured out - pictures to follow, BUT... I'm a 6' jumper of co-ax short, of actually having it all together!!!
Radio Shack has a 10' strand available - I may run out and get it tonite. I'll also post pics shortly as well!

OK - went to Radio Shack last night, and got my last strand of co-ax for this install. It was hot, muggy, stormy, and late when I got home - all BAD combos trying to adjust and ANTENNA, so I'm gonna hafta get back after that on another day. Here's what I spent the BETTER part of Monday doing, though.
The old mounting spot was just too flimsy, but now I'm left with holes in my plastic! Got these little doo-dads at Lowe's.
Supposed to plug a hole in a Nissan, according to the instructions, but they work nicely in a Jeep, too! (Still gotta scrub that permanent marker off, too...)
Decided to mout it here instead - much sturdier mounting point, although I hate making MORE holes in the dash.
That, and these screws SUCK! I went back and got different ones later in the day, but no pics of THEM installed.
As for the SCANNER antenna, well, that's a Larsen, and I stuck it on the side of the hood, just as lekmedm did with his CB antenna.
Completely forgot to take a picture of the antenna in place... D'OHHH! Oh well, something for a future post!

Here's my antenna, snaking around the hood & door post, and avoiding any more drilling!
Storing the excess!
Mofset power cords, coming BACK through the same route!
I did take a grinding bit, and trim a little of the metal underneath the insulation, to get the wires a little notch to lay low on, while getting the insulation BACK into place.
10awg to the terminals!
Wilson Silver Load 4' 750 watt antenna installed (no - all the wires AROUND it belong to the neighborhood! ). On a barrel spring and quick detach mounted. NOT tuned yet either... NEXT Monday's project, I suspect...

Baby girl, modeling with my setup.
Scanner WORKS!
Here's what it all LOOKS like together (my mic cord is waaaaay too long) - still gotta fine tune the CB, but we're ALMOST home now...

Looks like its coming together very nicely !
Looking good !
Be careful running the wires under the door seal/weather stripping. It'll leak like mine did.
