I have been pondering (slowly) where to put my GMRS. For me the under the front dash has airbags interfering with it and the under the seat on the floor would have to penetrate the floor padding. I found that under my drivers seat there is plenty of space and there is a bar that I can mount to once I find a round bar to flat plate mount. I zip tied it there to test interference and I can move the seat back and forth. From here getting to electrical at the battery and running antenna and mic should be easy. Will have a disconnect there and some slack for moving seat back and forth. Making sure it is safe from pinching. I think I will start on this when I get time.

This has been bugging me for a bit and I think this might be a great solution. Once I get started I will post more. Other options were going under rear seat and making or repurposing another bracket but I like this one even better. It will not get int he way of other things I want to do. There is a lot of space under the seat. I may change to a different radio as this is from my Defender which I need to sell and I am choosing to leave everything in it.

Great idea! I may do the same. I had a similar setup in my Tacoma, connected directly to the battery.
I had it in my mind that I needed to connect the radio to one of the front power switches, but connecting straight to the AUX battery makes much more sense to me and get to keep that switch open!

Thanks!
 
Possibly a hose clamp would work but these might do as well. Thinking now about the hood mount off my Ditch lights like I did on my Defender vs the mirror mount. Thinking too much about ground plane. I had the Ghost Antenna on a ditch lights mount on my Defender and I could hear my buddy several miles away. Reading not about no ground plane antenna etc. I know that the roof is best but I would probably knock it off.
