I have a 4 door Rubion JK if you haven't seen it. We had bought a CB for my LJ when I had it but now want to get it put in my JK. Any suggestions on where it should go? My husbands is hanging from his rollbar but I am tired of hitting my head on it so I want it somewhere else? Thoughts anyone?

I have a TJ but i put mine on the back side of the center console so it doesn't clutter up the dash or I/wwe don't hit our heads on it.

I put mine above the mirror. It was very easy, just ran the wires along the roll bar. I really like it up out of the way, but easy to access. I just screw the screws into the plastic. It holds really well. I can still get the freedom tops off easily.

I ran the antenna wire down the roll bar and under the padding to the rear of the jeep. I ran it into the rear door and out the vent to the spare tire.

For power I ran the wiring down the passenger side a-pillar, through the fire wall and then to the battery on the passenger side.

I bought a cheapo mount from Quadratec that goes next to the center console.

I have the same 'cheapo' mount. From what I remember it was expensive for what you get. I think I could have mounted the radio there free with out the mount.

An TJ, I have that same green bag, too. We must shop at the same places.

Yep. Could of mounted the CB in the same spot with the bracket that came with it! :lol:

The Mole bag is great and fits in that spot perfectly.

But, it didn't require any shopping. It was one of the many many things I have won in raffles at Jamboree and PUAM.

When I used to win stuff at raffles.....

Before I met JK Lance! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Yrjan has his mounted on the passenger side of the tunnel. First time I rode in his jeep I figured it would be a pain in the shin, but not so! Didn't even bump it.
I'm not sure how the driver side compares, but its easier for the passenger to find a comfy spot than the driver...
