Default Rugged Ridge Overhead Consol

Anyone know how this attaches(strap, clamp, screw?), how rigid it is, Where it can be purchased and the big question...whether you think it could support a mid sized CB mounted to it?
Looks liek it would be a nice switch location too

Looks interesting. I could find nothing on it anywhere. I did stumble across one from Misch on the Quadratec site that looks similar. I bet it would work as well.

This is the first time I have seen this, but it looks great. I would like to find more information on it as well.

i talked to rugged ridge at sema about the possibility of mounting a CB to this overhead unit and their initial response was skeptical. however, they did say they may look into modifying it so that it could. looking at it first hand, i would think that you could mount a small unit to it but nothing big and heavy like an old cobra 29. that might be too heavy for it.

Yeah nothing too big, small to mid size unit. Off the top of my head I think the uniden 538 w/ NOAA was the one I was eyeballen'. hmmm. Maybe I'll hav to go back to trying to get smitty or hard rock to sell me just the overhead portion of the sport cage. Thanks for the info!
