I put mine in the cubby to the left of the steering column. I just soldered a 12v " cigarette lighter " plug and have it stored behind the pop down cover below the steering column. When I want to use it I just plug it up and hook up the mic. I have the antenna wire run under the driver's seat with a magnetic mount that I just pop out on the roof when I need it. It would be nice to have everything permanently mounted but its really not that big of a deal for me. I have the same Midland as Sal has in the pic.
    I saw that one. I didn't like it either because it sticks out WAY too far.

    Looks good. What antenna is that? It looks like a good height!

    It's a Wilson, (perhaps a 4' Flex ??) I also have a question for Kitkat.. Did you have any problems with your SWR before you grounded the Wilson's "ground wire" ? And if so did it make a big difference ? I was hoping I would not have to.
    I'm getting ready to mount a couple of antennas on "Doc's" swing out tire carrier and I am concerned about ground plane/SWR problems. It also looks like you are running an extra ground wire from the mount ? Is that true ? I am doing that because of the possible poor grounding due to the swing out.
