I mounted mine under the glovebox...got long arms and no problem reaching it...as it's been said the antenna and location, etc are the real performance mods for the CB...Truck stops will have alot of the stuff you need and even SWR tuners.

Easy fix...
take of your visor clips, slide on a bracket, screw the clips back on.

The dimensions dont really matter. I found some random 3/8th steel and welded some L brackets to it. Just make sure you make one that is wider than the clips which should be about 8-10 inches apart. just make sure you drill your holes to line up with the clips screws

i got measurements, sorry for stealing ur idea FlemingXJ but i made mine 11.5" long and only drill 4 holes in it. 2 for the bracket that came with the CB and the other two were 9" apart. pretty easy. thanks for the idea FlemingXJ!

I like this location best, unfortunately I have the overhead consol so that's not an option for me. For shorter guys it might be an option to mount it to the overhead consol between the sunglass holder and the rear seat lights, but I'm bumping off the head liner as it is so I don't want to be wacking my head on a CB in the case of an accident. I'm going to have to explore other options when I finally get a CB.

I'm not complaining, don't get me wrong. Just thought I'd throw the idea out there about mounting to the overhead console, even though I can't do that either.
Maybe someone else will be able to?

Theres 2 holes between your visors that the overhead console screws into. It may different on the older xjs but on the newer ones whether you have an overhead console or not the holes are still there. I just screwed mine into those holes, I dont have a headliner so it was pretty easy but it still shouldnt be hard.
