Midland MXT275 Installation in 5th Gen 4Runner

It's time to install a GRMS radio, specifically the Midland MXT275, into our 5th gen 4runner. Here is how I did it and the parts I used. MXT 275: amzn.to/3o6gMCC Antenna: amzn.to/433y1DG lip mount: amzn.to/457I2RN
Thank you for your help in supporting the channel!

Back in the day, car antennas were on the front passenger side to minimize visual obstructions for the driver. I think that’s which side I would choose.

Hmmm. That’s a good point. Thank you!

How did you hook up power?

[@EmbarkWithMark]

It comes with a 12v plug and I mine into one of the plugs in the center console.

Rugged Radios sells an antenna bracket that uses the hood hinge bolts. They sell passenger or driver side for less than $40
The sell a radio mount that uses the seat bracket bolt and mounts radio just about where you put it without holes or tape.
Hope that helps someone

How do you adjust the swr on that antenna?

[@EmbarkWithMark]

There’s an Allen screw. Once I done you can raise or lower the antenna slightly to adjust SWR.

What do you mean that's it for this one? You didn't even plug it in how are you supposed to use it with no electricity

[@theprepperdad]

That model is a cigarette plug. No need to run to the battery.
