Cheapo Cobra, but hey it works. mounted cb between the sunvisors, no holes drilled into the jeep whatsoever. holds up very well. out of the way. took a whole half hour from the box to fully hooked up and ready to go. what y'all think???

Now that looks ideal!
where did you take the power from, and how did you route the coax?

Thanks a lot guys for the compliments. And for power, i ran the ground and power wire together under the headliner toward passenger side and quickly shot them down the inside of the pillar down to the fusebox. Had to connect wires to ones that came with radio to reach the fusebox. Connected the power wire to circuit adder fuse and pluged it in. Connected ground wire to an terminal and smashed it between the bolt and dash assembly just to the rear of the fusebox. Very clean look. And coax cable is currently ran under drivers side sunvisor and tucked in the trim on top and shot all the way back and out the hatch. It will be changed when my antenna kit comes in. I got a crappy 1.5 foot magno special.

i have my honkin cobra 29 up there too, but i have the shorter visors, so lots of room in between them.

i like mine up there, leaves more room in the foot wells. and i hate a cluttered dash.
