I mounted my radio in the space just below the AC/Heater Dials. I mounted my CB in the footwell on the passenger side (not ideal) I was going to mount it in my center console, but I actually store stuff in the console.
here is a link to how it looks and the install.

I will post up the installation of the KC 10 inch light bar 4" rounds and a PIAA Driving light bar soon...

Here's a good idea--- www.tacomaworld.com/threads/my-ham-radio-install.146287/
My main unit is under the drivers seat and the walkie part is mounted next to the drivers wheel. Get a good antenna. Makes all the difference
I fabricated a mount for the transceiver to fit in the driver's side bed storage box. Coax run to antenna is only 3 feet to the side of the bed for a quad band mount. I ran control wire for the head unit to mount by my right knee.

I replaced the double DIN factory radio in mine and the new insert had a pocket under the new single DIN radio that fits a mobile radio face nice. It might be possible to fit a complete radio here if it's not too deep. It would be close with my CS800D, might stick out a bit. The body is under the seat, though.
Put one in the slot ahead of the shifter on my truck, too. A complete radio wouldn't likely fit here. The face for my Tk-8180 (primary use is GMRS) is pushed almost all way back. MIght be 6 or 8 inches deep I'd guess. Body of the radio is also under the seat.
