It doesn't hurt to stop by your your Local PD/Fire/Ems - and ask , they may know someone that does side job's. Good Luck

Why not use magnetic mount antenna and take it off when you aren't using it?

I've been piddling around the idea if putting a small CB radio in my truck just for poops & haha's; and nothing other than when we go on road trips with friends and we're in separate vehicles. It'd be better than the group texts we currently do while driving. We've talked about getting little handhelds but it looks like they still have a lot of manual squelch, gain, frequency adjustments, and don't have much for distance; none of us are professional radio operators or truck drivers that deal with that stuff daily. I did find a small CB radio that has automatic squelch controls and stuff all built in and still give normal distance. I wouldn't know where to mount it in my 2020 AT4. It'd be nice to have it hidden as much as possible because I don't want it sticking out like a sore thumb or have cords dangling everywhere. I like things to have that factory look, which is also why all the antenna ideas scare me a bit, drilling into stuff or have an big ole bracket hanging off somewhere that look ugly af. Then I saw this mounting option for an antenna that looks pretty close to factory (see picture) - same looking antenna mount style as the regular AM/FM antenna, just on the driver's side to keep that factory look. In all honesty I'd probably leave the antenna off most of the time and just put it on during those road trips.

 

Any ideas for a nice hidden mounting option for a CB radio in a 2020 AT4?

Any idea where to find this plastic piece for a driver's side antenna mount for a 2020 AT4, like the one pictured? (No idea the year, make, or model of the truck pictured)

 

This is what I did in my 2500.  Not sure if you are willing to cut that much though, lol.

 

As far as small units, the President Bill I used takes the cake.  Unless you want an "all in mic" unit.  Only thing I miss is not having a PA...

I do like the install; looks nice & clean, but it does look like more cutting than I'm prepared to do. I was shooting for the radio hidden more in the flip up part of the center council. I did see that President just came out with a handheld CB with ASC. I might have to give that a whirl first before I consider a more elaborate install.
