I got my IC-706 installed in the HiHy. I was hoping to place the base unit
in the rear area under the jack covers - but there wasn't enough room. I mounted it on the right side and I am temporarily using the rear power outlet for operation only on 2mtrs/70cm - that outlet won't handle the current for HF. I mounted the head with "sticky tape" on the ash tray cover - below the shift lever. If that cover can be purchased for a reasonable price - I will get an extra one and drill holes and place the mounting bracket on. When warmer weather comes I will dig around and try to find a way to route a power cable direct from the aux battery to the base unit.

The control head cable I just dressed around the edges and then under the rear matt - up the edge of the console and then up to the head.

The 2mtr/70cm dual antenna is a diamond with the diamond mount on the rear tail gate (right side).

I'll post some pictures a little latter - and hopefully have the power cable problem solved.
