Why oh why, do I keep coming on to these threads and looking at all these bad A$$ installs of cool stuff. Now I have to have the Cobra 75 mounted up like this. This has to be the most expensive Web Site in the World. It's a good thing Jeeps have good re-sale value, my accesories and mods are already creeping up on my MSRP.

Very clean looking install.
I couldn't really find a spot I liked in the JK to install my 20 year old Cobra 20 CB so I picked up the popular Cobra 75 all in one unit and thought I'd share some pics of the install...
First the antenna, a 36" Firestick mounted to the spare tire carrier (purchased the mount from a local CB shop that sells through Quadratec). The antenna cable is routed through the same rubber grommet used by the brake light wires.
The CB box is installed under the glove box on the metal bracket and quick disconnect on the panel beneath the glove box. (This is wired directly to the battery)
Cooltech VersaMount with cb mic bracket riveted in ...
Finally, the mic mounted on the CoolTech VersaMount:
That's it...it sounds great and the antenna tuned real well...off to the trails !!!

Thanks for the idea!
I've been pondering how I was going to install a CB ever since I bought by JK over 1.5 years ago. I've just been using a handheld, which SUCKS. I've got all of the appropriate pieces on their way and plan to do the install identically to the OP, unless I eyeball something I like better just prior to breaking out the drill.
Hopefully I'll have everything in my hands to do this by the weekend.
Thanks!!
