Hey everyone, looking at getting an 80ch UHF for my 91 JX Sierra. Curious as to where everyone has mounted their UHF and what brand/model it was that fitted where they placed it? Currently thinking of mounting it under the steering wheel and to the left a bit, or in the little box bit next to the clock if it fits maybe? Pictures would be appreciated too if possible!  thanks in advance

Does not get in the way or anything. |

Ah awesome, haven't got the sierra at my house and have never driven it, so I've just been guessing, but that sounds good, nice and out of the way! What would be a good bang for buck one? I know bugger all about them, what antenna to choose etc |

I don't know anything about them either. I have a small Oricom unit and an itron antenna. It was an impulse buy, and I trusted the repco guy on what would be a good choice. It works well enough to talk to my mates whilst stopped, but for the noise inside a sierra at moderate speed an external speaker would be the go. I think you can do better than what I've got. Hopefully other people chime in. |

another good spot is pull out the ash tray and put it there. do a search and you will find a pic. ill post one when I get home from work if no 1 els has by then. I have a uniden other people I go wheeling with have gme. the gme ones seam to have a longer range other than that they seam as good as each other. both around the $250 for a full kit |

Unless you have a coily dash in your w/t that location doesn't exist in your car. |

If you can find a coily being wreaked then you should be able to take the map shelf of and install to your dash |
