I havnt gotten a new one yet for the 4x4 BUT, I ran a k40 in my 86 v8 safari van, I mounted it under the heater controls, just drilled the bracket to accomidate the factory holes.


What antenna are you using/going to use? K40 makes very nice 'glass ones and steel whips.(used to work in their warehouse 10 years ago, im sure their technology got ALOT better.

i mounted mine to the side of the center console where the cup holder is and mounted my whip antenna to the spare tire rack works great

Where would the 'best' spot to mount one be? I thought I read somewhere you want to have the cb antenna as far from the FM antenna as possible..but in the rear of the truck where is a good spot? Wouldn't a mount off the bumper interfer with tailgate movement?
