There's a wiring harness with a rubber boot behind the glove box that goes through the firewall. Just poke a hole in it.

If you remove the cover on the end of the dash at the passenger side there is a hole that is filled with foam you can poke through into the engine compartment. I did it on the drivers side for the A pillar lights wiring and on the passenger side for the CB. Just use a wire hanger, piece of cake.

Check out this write-up on step 19
Project-JK.com - Jeep JK Wrangler Resource » Affordable Jeep JK Wrangler CB Radio SolutionMidland Model-1001Z

If your trying to take anything with a plug through there, on the passenger side, you'll want to use the bottom outside (right) quadrent of the hole so that it doesn't get blocked going through.

FYI There is a whole section just for CB's

Good Luck

Thanks, that's what I was looking for, was not sure about removing the side piece. Last CB I had I could use wires inside the cab but on this one I wanted to use a direct connection to the positive post. I know there is a CB section but was not able to locate the way through, just a dummy.
Thanks again to everyone..
