What year are you? 96+ have more room in the stock radio location. Earlier years, good luck. There is no room for a radio AND a CB AND the climate controls. Here is what I did:

And yes, all climate controls and vents are still 100% functional.

Do yourself a favor and just go buy one of the Cobra CB's (under a $100) where everything is in the mic except for a remote mounted box about 3x1x1". The antenna/mic and an external speaker if you wish plug into it.

I have several radios mounted in my XJ the other is an amateur radio as I'm licensed. It has a remote head on it also the body of the radio is under the passenger seat with the control head mounted on a windshield mount.
