My Ford Ranger Install

[fireradio]

I've had this setup for quite a while, but I just now got around to taking photos of it. The goal of this installation was to cause as little damage to the truck as possible; that's why it isn't the neatest in the world. Enjoy!

Astro Spectra:

Portables:

"Old School" Garmin GPS, XM Radio, and Spectra:

The "Guts:"

The Antenna:

And the XM antenna (yeah I know, who cares... too bad)

What radio is that with the A7(?) head?

You shall not be listening to Craptowne Dispatch, McBean.

If you're looking for a long-term installation of the satellite radio antenna, consider coming out through the center brake light. I did that with a scanner antenna cable in my 99 Ranger -- was easy to route on the interior, bring through the body at the light assembly and notch the plastic surround to straddle the cable when tightened back in place. I brought the cable out the bottom of the light and looped it up to the roof, never had any water infiltration problems.

Otherwise it looks nice.

Jim, thanks for the tip. I may do that...

What radio is that with the A7(?) head?

It's an 800 MHz Astro Spectra with a W9 control head and a DEK on top.

Are you a LEO? Are those portables TETRA or P25?
