Three screws in the front roof beam.
Two of the screws have star washers to get a better ground for the housing.
I ran the power and antenna leads above the headliner.

I made a bracket for the cb mount to screw onto then mounted the cb to the cb mount. The bracket I made screws into the left and right sun visors holders. And also screws into the center du-hicky that I have no clue what it does.

I used to use the cig lighter.
I have tapped an unused power feed at the Fuse block.
It's a key on feed and I have an inline fuse.

^^^X2^^^ I also used the spare slot to tap into on the fuse panel. Its a key on accessory spot and I am also runing an in-line fuse as well, for power. And for the ground im running a very short ground right were its mounted. The ground is screwed to the roof using one of the existing screw holes in the center of the roof.
