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

It is really easy to mount them under the centre part of the dash, there are screws for the brackets like it was made for it.

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

[Marko_SJ]

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.

Cheers mate, and now.. We wait!

Hey I have my UHF installed into the map holder on the right had side it fits really well abd I am never going to use it as it isn't deep enough for my map book

[kuta]

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

look at my build thread thats where i put mine it works and looks a treat^^

[Brooksy]

Sweet, I'l have a look later josh, cheers! Could you show me a pic Trebor? I don't have the suzuki at my place so I can't go and suss it out haha and I'm replacing the area of my ashtray/lighter with a double din CD/DVD player, so that spot's out of the picture

[Brooksy]

Just had a look at your thread Josh, looks sweet! Nice work! Couldn't see any pics of the UHF though?

[Trebor]

I hope this work here are some pics

[Trebor]

[Brooksy]

Ahhh yep! Yeah that fits nicely in there!

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

[Trebor]

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

[Trebor]

And sorry I didn't know that they weren't in you model sierra

[Brooksy]

Ah damn haha I'll just go down on the weekend and have a look

Hi mate I bought the gme tx3100 and its a fairly good unit and I mounted it where the ash tray lives so Ive got a unh instead of an ash tray I will put a pic up this arv so you can see but imo its a great neat spot
