Default Ham Radio locations. Show me your pictures

Hey guys, I have only posted new threads a few times. My question is I have my ham license and am looking for a place to put the actual radio. My jeep is a Daily Driver, and it is my wife that drives it most of the time. I drive my work vehicle during the week. The jeep is mine for the weekends. The problem is I want to put my radio in the Jeep but I don't want a big bulky radio in the way of things. I know there are ways to put the unit in the back and just have the face up front. I would really love to have it completely hidden. I have thought about putting it under the passenger seat and only having the Mic coming up. Has anyone done this? Any ideas and pictures of where you have yours hidden would be great. Thanks for the help.

In my 2010 I squeezed a Kenwood TM281A and a CRE 8900 in the center console. Mics as well.

EDIT

Sorry about that turkey pic!! I am so lousy on the mobile phone. Let me get the actual pic I was looking for.

I too wanted to hide my radio from others looking to make a score, so I found that behind the plastic panel beneath the steering wheel was a perfect place to mount a dual-band IC-207, I just needed to make a bracket to support it which was easy. Mounted the detachable face above the rear view mirror and ran an extension for the mic to the side of the drivers seat. Works great.
Good luck!
