Finally put my cb radio in. Cheap wal mart one but its basically only for the trail. It'll be fine


Mounted it where the ashtray was.

I just found that same CB new in the box at a yard sale for $5. Nice to see that it fits into the ashtray area where I plan to put it.

dang, i got it from wal mart for $35 i think. it fits great. have to cut out the plastic in back and take off the boot for the antenna. a friend put cloth tape so it was flexible and went into a 90. the antenna is still presseed up against the hvac but not much. my first cb and im trying to get the hang of it.

Cool thanks for the heads-up on that. I'm not a cb guy myself despite having driven a truck for 10 years. Even back then I mostly kept it turned off and when it was on, I kept the squelch up high so people had to be close in order to hear them.

I wasn't even going to put one in my 4Runner, but the price was right for a new radio, and on occasion they do come in handy, especially on the highways when there is an accident or lane closure ahead, as you can usually ask the nearest semi what lane is shut down or whatever is going on up there.

I'd like to get my HAM license eventually and mount a good HAM radio in the truck. One of these days....
 
It is nothing that I did to my 4runner but I did send a product suggestion to Titan Tanks to make aux tanks for Toyotas. Would any of you guys be interested in that?
 
Great idea. Still trying to figure where to put the Mic mount.

I mounted my mic to the passenger side of the HVAC controls and it has worked well for me. Within reach when I need it and out of the way when I don't.

I hope to have one on a trailer someday but I would love to have one where the spare tire goes. Just this week I could've used extra fuel.

Looks great with the '16 wheels.

I put in the same pioneer in earlier this year. If you haven't already, you need to buy a "microbypass" chip for like $15. I picked up mine on ebay direct from maker with free shipping, no tax.

New Microbypass Pioneer AVH X4500BT AVH X5500BHS Parking Brake Bypass TR7 Pac | eBay

Once installed, you'll have access to all menu items at all times.

If you didn't install a rearview camera, i'd highly suggest the pioneer nd-bc8. I got it for $80 after ditching the crappy $20 license plate ones on amazon. Installed for 7 months now, no issues in rain or with condensation.

Hey, thanks for the knowledge! I still have to jailbreak the deck. Bypass is ordered. Without it, the thing is basically useless while driving.
How sick is that equalizer? This is my first big kid stereo, still trying to get best sound, I used the vocal eq setting as a base and tried to tweak and peak the highs and mids in custom mode. The 12" sub takes care of the rest.
I can't believe I went so long on the factory deck and amp. There is no comparison between the two sounds.
