I own a 1999, I modified it right away. Took out the plastic
cover just forward of the 4 wheel drive lever. Cut the left side out to match the width of my cobra radio CB. This allowed the radio to be mounted under the dash easily and within reach. Further, I removed the cover of 4 wheel drive shifter and unbolted the lever and applied cutting torch to bend the lever for a easy reach when shifting on the fly and allowing for shifting into low 4 wheel, without damaging hand on radio. I bent the lever toward the driver and and more toward the seat. Allow move for middle passenger leg not bumping againt the lever. I was also unhappy with the middlle seat setting so high. Made it too tall for my wife to set beside me. Again I unbolted the seat and got out my torch and made the seat 2&quot; lower. Note the center had no recess
like the driver and passenger seat. Long story short I
made the truck fit my use. Man needs a good woman
beside him who is comfortable, good CB, and a shift lever
that can be quickly put 4 wheel drive when you run off the
road ;D

Just curious why you guys have CB radios? Isn't that old technology?? Im not big on it to me maybe you can use to to warn about cops and stuff???

They work especially good when following along in a caravan (or would that be CaraRAM) heading for a &quot;Meet &amp; Eat&quot;, or the Drags, or whatever.<br>We would never use this techology in an attempt to warn others about a law enforcement official carrying out his official duty to contol speeding using Radar or any other official Law Enforcement tool. :

SORRY,,,,,,, didn't mean to rant,,,,, :<br> Anyhow,,, I leave the drink holder down in my truck all of the time. I keep a little round ashtry in one side and normally a travel cup of coffee in the other. So,, I mounted my CB to the side of the drink holder, facing straight up. It works real well and the drink holder dosen't bounce anymore because the bottom of the radio rests against the floor. ;D We don't use the middle seat for sitting anyway,,,, I would like to put a sub under the center seat too. I need to get a pic of it I guess.

You're right Mike, most of them do. <br>I had fun one night about 10 years ago on the DC beltway with a Va State trying to set up radar.<br>Every time he pulled over, I reported his position, then he'd move. This went on for about 4 miles until I came to my exit.<br>I was LMAO.

If you don't need more power than 5 watts you could go with a cobra 75 wx st and put the box under the seat or center console.
