I've searched and can't find any pictures of the area under the cupholders in a 6-spd. I can find automatic pics showing the shift linkages and all, but is there anything under there in a manual? Does anyone have some pics?

I saw a CB install thread that showed the 6 speed It looked pretty empty besides the E-brake stuff

That's exactly what I'm wanting to do, but I'm trying to plan ahead a little and see some pics under there before I remove everything.

I finally found one, I guess I needed to search longer... http://www.fjcruiserforums.com/forums/stereo-electronics-electrical/7685-cobra-75-wxst-bandi-mount-install.html

Try to look up a thread which involves the TRD or URD quick shifter.

You have to lift that particular assembly to install them.

One should be around in the "Technical Articles" section.

I don't have any pics but it's super easy to take it apart and will only take you 5 min. Follow LandCruiserSteve's directions here: http://www.fjcruiserforums.com/forums/how-technical-articles/55663-dash-console-door-panels-removal-inst-w-pics.html

Hey if you're going to install that Cobra I would advise not to even bother. After thinking about doing the same thing and doing some research that CB isn't very good. I'm looking at a full size now like a connex or general lee. The whole purpose for offroaders is to get out if you're in a jam. If you have a crappy CB what's the point?

I decided I am going to replace my factory stereo with a 1din unit and install a full size CB in the extra 1din space. But as far as getting out of a jam, CB's have a very limited range. Because most of my off-road trips are solo, I will be getting a radio technician license and installing a mobile HAM radio.

Nope, no Cobra. Now that I've taken some measurements, I think I'm going to cut a hole between the cup holders and recess the radio straight down. I've got enough room that only the face of the CB will be sticking up. All I've got to do then is remote mount the internal speaker and hook up the external speaker output to the stock stereo Aux. input.
