Default Just picked up a Bearcat 880

Hello all,

Just picked up a Bearcat 880 CB. Thought about the Cobra 75 but wanted something a little bigger. I've got a 2015 Jeep JK and looking for options for mounting. Something that's clean looking, but doesn't stand out if the top/doors are off. Thanks.

I've got the 880 and if you want it usable, go with the rugged ridge mount on the top footman. It's prominent but you can actually use your radio. Mounting it under the steering column or console or something doesn't provide easy access to it in my opinion and defeats the purpose.

I live in Miami and I've never had it messed with when my doors are off.
