Default CB Antenna Storage?

Anyone have any good ideas where and how to store a CB Antenna inside when it is not in use?

How about velcro straps and strap it to the roll bar?

I also have to take mine off to fit in the garage at work. So far I have it just laying in the back but have also been thinking about using Velcro to store it up on the roll bar. I have a 3' firestik but haven't checked where it would fit. I have the soft top on in the summer but I do like Toad's mod for the hardtop.

I just unzip the back roll bar padding and lay it in there, re-zip.

I put my 3' FireStik under the back security area. Just pull up the carpet piece, lay the antenna down, put the carpet piece back down and close your door. Its secure and no one can steal it. I'll grab a pic when I can if you need one. But the Jeeps in the shop until Wednesday.

Toad,

Your hardtop is in your apt? How did ya swing that LOL? I bitch b/c mine takes up too much space in my garage. Kudos to your creativity! BTW I need to order one of your left side center console radio mounts, great idea.
