So where have you been mounting the CB's?

I'll have to get some pics for this...
I cut out a hole in the front of the glove box, just under the lock. The cb fit snugly into the bottom, with just the face-plate sticking out (with controls, etc.) and the wiring out the back of the glove box, down the passenger side floor (under the carpet) and to the rear trunk, where the antenna is mounted on my Or-Fab tire carrier. I then took black caulk and added a thin bead around the face to make it look pretty. Works well... it's out of the way. I was able to use the mounting bracket too, screwed to the bottom of the glove box, so that I can still attach it so there's no rattle.

mount idea
Nice ride and really nice mounting idea, what remote mount did you use for the FT-8800r? I have an IC7000 that I am thinking of mounting the same way so I can manipulate the controls and see the screen while still watching the road.
Here's mine on my 2012 JKU. Mounted the CB with the Misch overhead tray center support and the Yaesu FT-8800R remote mount with the side support straps for the overhead tray. The overhead tray didn't work, couldn't get to the freedom top handle over the windshield hoop. Haven't decided where to put the ham base, probably under a seat. Posted this in response to the ham mount thread, thought it should go here too.
Going to use the Arizona Rocky Roads rear tire carrier mounts for the antennas and also the hood lip mount for the ham antenna and try out both ham antenna locations and see which one works out best.
