Ham Radio Install in SR5 ?

[RickSut]

Has anyone got a good install for a ham radio in their Gen 5 4runner. Looks like a very cluttered dash. I haven't used my Ham licence in about 5 years. I still have 3 Yaesu VX-5 I used to use with my wife and Kids. Cell phones put a stake through that heart. I just downloaded the Repeater list for my new home in the NC Mountains.. Now I have to remember how to program these things.....LOL

Not sure if this would work for what you had in mind but I think its a clean setup...

Is that a custom or off the shelf dash bracket, @ferank? Not sure I like the radio face stacked on top so much but it looks like a solid place for a few other things.

I've got the expedition essentials T4RPAM mount so please tell me more about that radio or the mount used to mount it to the EE T4RPAM. I was going to go with an ICOM 5100 to get a nice remote display but if there's a mount out there that will work with traditional (and cheaper) radios I'd love to know more....thanks in advance @Fefrank

The radio is a Kenwood TM-V71A. Not sure on the mount. The owner is on IG - username @t4r_lyfe

@DaveInDenver it’s off the shelf by Expedition Essentials.

Its Aluminum.. too bad, eliminates using anything magnetic for attachments. But its a pretty cool mount.

Looks like you could always bolt a steel plate to the front of it if needed.
