I chose the Cobra 75 for this JK build as the small main unit is easy to hide behind the dashboard. These small ****pits do not allow for a clean installation of a full size cb in my opinion. I ordered the grab handle mount from quadratec and it sits nicely in reach

Next, I know there will be a TON of electronics installed in my jeep. I wanted a way to keep all the wiring clean, and add switches. Most JK builds use the Spod. I ended up going with the Switch Pros Sp8100 for a number of reasons. I liked the switch panels small size, and the traditional spod location above the windshield would not work for me. I also liked that the switch pros unit has bluetooth right out of the box, nothing extra has to be purchased. I will likely never use this bluetooth feature. However, if I want to power up lights on the rig from my camp chair with a beer in my hand it is a nice feature to have. I also liked the added programmable features like battery vs ignition for power.
Here you can see I took a rugged ridge pillar mount and flush mounted the switch pros panel. ** Switch pros now sells a flush mount option which is a cleaner install.

I wanted a gobi rack forever, finally found one second hand!

Added a Trasharoo to the spare tire carrier, it saw its maiden voyage at the Hunt Cup, a horse race in Baltimore MD. I actually won the Grizzly Cooler, Trasharoo, and ARB camp chairs in a raffle. It was a nice little win for $10!
The Trasharoo has proven to be invaluable. From piling up beer cans at a horse race, keeping wet dog towels out of the truck's interior, or housing a weeks worth of trash on the road it has proven itself useful many times.

Light time!
I am not a fan of the bro-tastic 50 inch light bars. I chose to add a Rigid Radiance 20" combo in the center portion of the rack. I also added some 6" Rigid SR combos on the outer ends of the rack. These SRs are angled slightly outwards.
Don't mind the beer on the hood
