My cb radio mount
5 Attachment(s)
I got the idea from another forum member, but because I have the freedom top, I had to make some minor adjustments, and I wanted more space for add-ons later.
I started with two 10' sections of superstrut. Located in either lowes or Home depot near the wiring and electrical junction boxes. My local stores had them in aisle 11 (lowes) and 40 (home Depot). I cut them to the following lengths: 44-3/8", 40" and two at 19". I got four 3 hole flat corners, four 4 hole flat straight brackets, and 20 each of the following: 1/4" cone nuts, 1/4"-20 x 1" hex head bolts, and 5/16" x 1-1/2" flat washers. Picked up a can of Rustoleum matte black spray paint. I didn't document it step by step, but you get the idea from the pictures. All cuts were made with a sawz-all. Filed edges to remove burrs/ sharp edges. Attached with 75# zip ties at the corners of the longer brackets for now, until I come up with a better way to secure them.

Not going to lie. That looks badass! If I hadn't already mounted mine, I would have done this!

This looks great! Its also seems to be the perfect solution to what I am looking for. Wanted to add some extra storage space above but the only thing on the market is the Smittybilt G.E.A.R. Overhead Console. Can't use that since I have my switches mounted between the sunvisors. This would definitely solve it.
As for attaching it to the Jeep, would it be possible to add flat plates to the end of the longer runners and drill a couple bolt holes into the frame tubing? Similar to how the door surrounds attach. Also added it to the mods list as its not a pricey mod by the looks of it. https://www.jk-forum.com/forums/modi...ontier-309589/ |

Here's an idea for mounting to the roll bars. Not sure what diameter would be needed. Attachment 582880

This is the only one I have right now. If there is something specific you want to see, let me know. I'll try to get more tonight. |
