How about a help with ideas on a good place where to mount a CB ( 05 LJ Hardtop, Auto)! Also thinking of an Teraflex taillight bracket for the antenna. Where’s your CB gear mount and cable run to the back! Thanks Norty!
My CB & ham radios have had a few positions over the years but the last 15 have been just above the mirror. Using an Arizona Rocky Road mount which both hides the wiring inside and doesn't require any drilling. I zip tie the antenna cable to the side rollbar pieces and center support and then run the cables (2m ham to the passenger side, CB on the driver's side) along the sides just below and inside the tub's outer edges so it's not visible.How about a help with ideas on a good place where to mount a CB ( 05 LJ Hardtop, Auto)!

A lot of research here, good job!I did a bunch of research on the same thing earlier this week. I just ordered all this but haven't installed yet, waiting for things to come in the mail:
Arizona Rocky Road Mount
Antenna: FS-2BK
Antenna Mount: TerraFlex
18' Coax cable
Mounting Bracket
Mounting Screws
Stud Mount
I think a couple of people are running similar setups. I know a lot of people also run:
Rugged Ridge
Other mounting locations I've seen are
- By the 4WD lever, horizontal and perpendicular to
- On top of the center dash using a custom solution
- Passenger area.
That sounds like it’s for Jar H I mean marines, us Navy guys don’t understand putting stakes in the ground or dipoles! Water is flat !

Really like the Houghton - Copper Harbor area also!Hey @Norty05LJ, just noticed you are from the UP. Whereabout, if I might ask? My wife is from the Houghton area.
My radios are mounted to an Arizona Rocky Road overhead mount (Kenwood TM-281A 2m ham above; Uniden Pro520XL CB below):

Would you mind taking a couple more pictures of that mount? I was actually pretty interested in buying one of those, but there are only a few pictures on his site taken from about 50 feet away. Thanks so much!

Antenna mount brackets are Teraflex tail light mounts. The CB antenna is on the driver's side, either a 2' Firestik II or 4' Firefly depending upon need, utilizing a Breedlove stud mount with mini quick disconnect. (BreedloveMounts.com.) The ham radio antenna mount is a Breedlove drop in NMO mount. I am currently using a Larsen 1/2 wave 2m antenna.

Looking at the pictures it looks like you will always have to have your door surrounds on.Would you mind taking a couple more pictures of that mount? I was actually pretty interested in buying one of those, but there are only a few pictures on his site taken from about 50 feet away. Thanks so much!
