Here is my radio mount, still brainstorming of another "out of the way" location but I hate drilling and cutting, mine is mounted with 3M tapes and 1 screw and it holds really good in offroad.

For those of you that have installed a NMO in the roof, Can you put 2 NMO up there on centerline and avoid the bracing between headliner and roof? There are 2 spots that look perfect from the top between the blisters in the sheet metal but not sure if they are easily accessible from above the headliner. BTW I do not have a sunroof.

Should be plenty of room.

Ok time for a radio. I passed the Technician exam and got my ticket. I wanted something that had good multiband coverage and a remote head, so I got the Yaesu FT-857D http://www.yaesu.com/indexVS.cfm?cm...02&encProdID=8CBB7C4BDBAF40129AD4253A4987523C with the remote head and mic mounted using a Pro-clip on the dash cubbyhole http://www.proclipusa.com/dashboard...9-2014/proclip-angled-mount-854639-12960.cmsv and a few antennas.

I've currently got a Comet SBB-2 mounted on rear door driver side.
