Arizona Rocky Road shipped timely and Rick answered an email question that helped convince me that there is customer service. If your running a soft top, you just screw the bar in place. Freedom Top requires two 3/8" holes drilled into the top roll over tube. The start of more holes we all eventually drill into our rigs.

Keep posting pics.
On my 13 I have the sPod in the space of the ARR bracket and I don't (personally) like it mounted on the trans tunnel.

I have an 07 JK and really want the Cb to mount overhead. I am trying to find a way to do this without extra bars, posts, or consoles. If I can not do the overhead method, I am thinking about the handheld cobra with weather so I can put it in my center console.

You can mount mid & full size radios on the footman loop using brackets purchased at a hardware store. There's pictures in this thread and on others. After looking at my muddy hands on wheeling trips, a handheld didn't fit my usage.

I made a thread not too long ago where I built a small bracket to hold my full size 29ltd over the rearview. It works with both tops.

On my phone and cant easily link to it, but search under my profile for threads started by me

I noticed the other day that the header bar for my soft top is pretty close to the footman's loop too. Has anyone run into any issues with it?

I made a dash mount for my 2013 that uses a pre-existing screw in the top of the dash.

update with thread link and an unfinished pic:

https://www.jk-forum.com/forums/jk-e...-mount-263652/

It sits below the loop, and nothing actually touches the loop so the header bar and latching are not an issue.

75wx for me due to the lack of room... Just went to Moab and back with some buddies and had zero issues with any part of my CB, mount, or antenna mount...
