12 Explorer Install

[dwgelle]

I have a 2013, used NMO mounts.
Panavise Cell Mount to Dash and mounted the remote head to small pedestal on the bracket. I zip tied my Speaker in to my Headrest. Have also vecro at larger speaker down behind the center console as well.

(And I also have noise on 2 meter VHF frequencies. So when I am about 15-20 miles from a repeater I start loosing reception fast. but as soon as I turn off the truck Reception is crystal clear and hear farther. I'm guessing the fuel pump may be doing this.)

Passenger side, in the very upper right hand corner. there is a rubber boot that the rear windshield washer fluid hose runs through to the back. Can be a bit tricky. Up onder the hood you can see where the washer fluid hose runs. I did loosen the clips down the line to give some slack to the line. As the boot will come loose as you are pushing the line through. You can get your arm down there from under the hood. just tricky.
