Default cb mounting location for 2012

Where is everyone mounting their CB radios. I'm looking for a good clean install. Post pictures if you could please.

I'm mounting mine in the same place I had in my 08. Right above the mirror.

Great write up. But where did you run the power and antenna wires?

i ran both through the roll bar padding and have the power going down the plastic windshield trim and then directly to the battery though an existing hole in the firewall. i ran the coax cable all the way back and down the roll bar having it exit near the rear seat belt. the cable goes through a plug near the quarter panel and out the bottom.

For the CB I chose the Cobra 75 WX ST. I mounted the control box in between the center console and the rear window switch pannel. Then hard wired it to the 12V outlet inside the center console.
