[QUOTE="All The Way, post: 183591, member: 2481"] [b]Yaesu FT-8800R ham radio install (Updated)[/b] The install went pretty smooth. I still have to buy, mount, and run the antenna. I will add that part to the thread later. I also got the separation kit for the radio which made installation a lot easier. I ran power directly from the battery. I found a small rubber plug on the passenger side of the firewall that was perfect. [ATTACH=full]190283[/ATTACH] I cut the center out for the wires. [ATTACH=full]190284[/ATTACH] Tucked the wires behind the trim [ATTACH=full]190285[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]190286[/ATTACH] The main part of the radio I put under the passenger seat. I'll have to block off the floor vent for the winter. [ATTACH=full]190287[/ATTACH] For the front panel I wanted to mount it up as high as I could so I see it with a quick glance. Problem is I didn't want to drill any holes in the dash and I wanted it to look clean. I had some aluminum brackets from work laying around and found it fit perfect for what I had in mind. I only had to drill one small hole in the center speaker tray. [ATTACH=full]190288[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]190289[/ATTACH] With it mounted and powered. [ATTACH=full]190290[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
