This is the station that goes everywhere with me: my Toyota 4Runner with a Yaesu FTM-510D mobile rig installed for VHF/UHF. It was my first “real” radio after getting licensed—putting it in the truck was the moment ham radio stopped being theory and started being something I did on every drive and road trip, especially in places where cell service is thin.
I run as KJ5LXP(General). In the vehicle I care about clean power to the radio, a mounting spot I can reach safely while parked, and an antenna setup that does not get in the way of daily use. I'll keep filling in wiring, antenna, and install notes here as I document more on the channel—treat this page as a field note, not a shop manual.
You'll see this mobile setup in travel and trail-adjacent content on She's On Frequency. If you're building something similar in your own rig, I hope the specifics here help you skip a headache or two.
