Pics of ICOM IC-208H 2M/440 Ham Radio Install

Moved my CB antenna to the ARB Bull Bar passenger side.
Moved my Sirius S50 to the passenger side too.

Used the bracket that latched down the lug wrench as the mounting location for the rig. I need to shorten my antenna cable as soon as I can pick up a 259 plug.

Needed a 90 degree screwdriver and lots of patience to get the mounted securely.

The remote head mounted perfectly under the drivers side vent with some double sided tape.

Extended the mic connection using a Cat5e strait through cable and a M/M coupler.

Good ole' Bandi mount for the antenna.

So far so good, I have zero reference point as this is my first radio. The functionality seems fairly intuitive at this point, I'll keep you posted.
