The second one is Rugged Ridge.
This is my Rugged Ridge, with my small Midland. I hope to get the Anytone installed, this weekend.

I may work on mine today. I had a full sized Cobra up there, and at my height it blocked the mirror too much. The Anytone is so much smaller, than the Midland I'm thinking I'll really like it there.

Of your options, I'm kinda liking what can be done with this one.
Thanks Eddie, I currently went this way for now. I was not using that space anyway. It's so small it's out of the way, the speaker is facing out, and didn't have to mount anything permanently. I installed last night and everything seems to be working fine. Guess I'll pick up a SWR and get it tuned. Very happy so far.

Holy Moses, its small in there. I hope I didn't F it up. I advise people to use a magnifying glass. I'll know in a bit. I'm redoing my antenna cable, too.

notnalc68, Thanks for the pics and recommendations. I can't use those as I have some switches there..I have it in my lower center console net. Seems to work good for now. Still looking at options before a I get a roll cage.

I'm telling you. It's tiny in there! The pics don't do it justice.

I might take it for mine since it's hard to fit my CB and race radio on the cage.

Think I got too hot at the bridge. It won't do anything. Could have been defective, anyway.

Man, I hate to here that. It is VERY small in there. I used a magnifying glass, used a very small solder tip, just touched the solder and used a cheap solder sucker. Got lucky the first time.

That sucks, sorry to hear. If you are going to try again, they make these nifty jewelers glasses you wear like a headband. We use them where I work for small component work. My old eyes need them for any of that kind of work lol.
And the solder wick rather than the sucker might help as well, as some of the heat transfers to the wick. It a sort of copper braid thing.
Good luck

Awe man, and it's safe to assume it powered up prior to the modification?
