Where To Mount A Cb In A Mj

[TheDirtyJeep401]

I have just been trying to get ideas of where people have placed there CBs. If some people could show what they have done, It would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

This is where I mounted it in my XJ.  Will work the same in an MJ.

i mounted the mic on that little ridge so to speak, right below the five squares. you could always just hook it around the mirror with a bungee cord.

Depends on the size of the radio ya got. space is limited.

[87manche1]

Manche sun visors are longer replace with xj ones and u can put back in same spot

Does your shifter hit the CB when you shift?

[mnkyboy]

No, its all the way forward in the pic.

i pu tmy full size cobra 29 w/ noaa and nightwatch (fullsize cb radio) right above the radio on the dash

[GirsMJ86]

When I got my first MJ it had a cb that was attached to the back of the floor console and the mic hung on a metal bracket that stuck through the carpet on the back wall of the cab in the middle. Hope that makes sense, don't have any pics or I would post them.

Here's mine in my XJ:

I feel like I posted in this, but apparently not, haha.

 

 

mnkyboy: That center console, where can I get one. If that folds up into a seat, it's brilliant.

The PO had it set up like that in mine, judging by the wholes in the dash

Is there a write up for that? How are the seats? Are they taller than Xj buckets?

[92tanMJ]

My dumbass accidentally double posted..

[gogmorgo]

Can't say for certain since it was removed before I got my MJ, but it looks like it was sitting on the transmission hump between my buckets. There's still a clip for the mic on the back of the shifter console, and an antenna cable with very limited reach that comes up through a hole under the driver's seat, as well as an antenna mount on the back of the cab, at the other end of the cable.

aftermarket overhead shelf and a not-quite-fullsize CB headunit.

 

[jpdriver1]

hey pete --- are those shelves still around?

[mnkyboy]

The seats are from a 97 Dodge Dakota and yes the console does fold into a seat.

 

The seats are very comfortable and have adjustable lumbar support, they are pretty close in height to the stock buckets but maybe just a little taller.

 

There isn't a write up because my truck came to me with some old GM seats attached to wood blocks screwed into the floor so I started with nothing and had to fabricate everything. I think it would be much easier if someone had some brackets to start with.

[CoryMJ89]

I put mine on the side of the shifter plastic bezzle passenger side with mic mounted to dash

[Pete M]

dunno.  I got it from jcw.com so long ago they didn't have a website.

[johnnyc]

Most CB radios are obtrusive. So I got an all-in-one Cobra, that doesn't take up much room. Don't know where I'm gonna put the mobile ham, though.

 

[mnkyboy]

That's what my brother went with in his wrangler. Its nice how small it is, you can also buy extra power boxes for it and use it in multiple rigs.

[TheDirtyJeep401]

How much do those run?? The cobra all in one. I do like the shelf that Pete had, but can't find one anywhere.

Looks like they run about 100 bucks or so. Its a Cobra 75WXST

 I have one of those Cobra all in ones. It has not held up well. The coating on the mic cord started to deteriate over time and the mic holder on the back is plastic and will snap off with a little force. But although the plastic parts are falling apart the CB still does it's job.
