Recently finished installing my radio in my truck. Really happy with the results. I wanted a very clean install with no wires showing, so I had to drill holes. Quite a few of them. This was my very first permanent install of a Ham Radio and I must say it was a little scary drilling the holes but I took about two months to figure out where I wanted everything to go, then figured out how to route the wires. Only then did I start drilling holes. Measure twice, cut once.
Details on the full install can be found here:
Radio installed under rear passenger seat.
Cut a slit in the carpet to run microphone and control head cables under carpet to front center console.
Larsen 2/70SH NMO Antenna on the roof. Used a Greenlee punch for the hole. Worked great!
RJ45 and RJ12 Panel Mounts for the microphone and control head cable.
Control head attached using a RAM Mount to center console.
Icom SP-35 mounted under and in front of rear seat storage area.
