Cascadia cb question.

Get the factory dash mount and run the General. Better than the Cobra, although the 29 is what I run. I leave mine in the truck all the time.

 

Raneys sells them.

May have to use a Dremel for something with a large face.

 

That looks like a Cobra 25 in the pic. Too small for a big export.

 

I got my general Washington to fit up top in my 2010 Cascadia I just removed the whole outer piece as well and it fits perfect. You could also just use a hot knife and make the opening a few cm's larger and it will fit great and look cleaner that way.

 

This Radio will fit the stock Cascadia mounting hole & has a front mic jack too...
Awesome radio, mine kicks 7 receives really well after mods too...

Forgot to add if you go this method you will need to either run new coax to factory mounts or run something to the mirror like some do..

I run new coax to drivers side factory mount with a 4' firestick & get amazing results..

Mounted my AR-3500 right to the dash with 3M doubled sided body side molding tape. When you take it out it doesn't leave any residue or markings on the dash. I ran my power directly under the hood in front of the clutch pedal on the firewall. Ran the power cord and coax out the of the driver side wall right behind the signal light. Takes about an hour to do it but no holes drilled and will completely be in stock shape when you get out of the truck.

 

You can get by with it back there if you position it right. But doesn't perform very good unless you get a top loaded antenna and it sticks up above he trailer. But if you have 13'6" trailer,your antenna ain't gonna last long.

 

I had a mount off that bar. The arm swung to the drivers side. I ran a connex 3300 HP with a Wilson 2000. I never had a problem with range.
