Go for a remote handset and mount the head unit under the passenger seat. Works a treat in mine ... no good when you flood it out though, so make sure if you do it there, get it mounted in a cradle frame to keep water off it (or stay out of deep water!! LOL).Quote:

Patrols are not easy to mount bulky UHF's. Most people mount them on top of stereo housing .....UUUUUGLY!!!! and damages dash.
Take some advice and buy CENTRE roof console to fit your model.
DO NOT install overhead console HEAD BANGER off road!
thing about trying to mount it in the door pocket
ive got an icom ic440 remote handset and the unit is under my centre console, plenty of room under there

Very neat Trolatron
i mounted a GME 4400 on the left side of the center console and tucked it up under the dash as far as i could,, it is out of the way and still reachable the only thing i have not done yet is put in the mic holderr as i don't really want to drill holes inthe daash
looks like a GQ dash,,, very nice very neatQuote:

I have the small TX 3100, was going to fit in glasses holder but decided to put it here.
That seems a good spot for it. By the way thanks for your post re Camping spotQuote:

I have a Icom 400 pro and thinking about putting up high in a roof console , think its my only option in 2011 Gu
i put mine here. Its easy to reach and doesnt get in the way.
Hi Guys, I used a computer box handle for my uhf radio bracket to be mounted near my left side of steering wheel as photo's show cheers Alex
Just bought a UHF and mulling this where to mount quandary also, but this has helped.
Thanks for posting your pics.
Cheers
For anyone with a sunroof in a GQ this works really well. Small Uniden 80ch unit. Handset holder screwed into sunroof cover, unit fits in close to the map lights. Out of the way of water.
When not in use the cord wraps around the rear view mirror and doesn't get in the way.
