Looking to do a CB setup in my JKU, not sure where a great place to mount the cb would be. Been looking at the rugged ridge over the review mirror mount. Any one have this mount or and comments? Thanks

I'm not sure about that particular mount, but I hate radios mounted there. Specifically, I hate dealing with microphone cords of radios mounted there. I'm in the process of moving mine to inside the center console.

I purchased the Rugged Ridge mount this week and will do the install in my JK this weekend. I'll take some pics and post.

What CB mount is best? The one that works for you. Asking such a basic question will get you three hundred opinions, not an answer. Personally, I like the homemade over the mirror location. Out of the way and conveniently located.

I plan to use just a simple cheap Cobra 19 DX.
Im stuck between the center console mount or an over the mirror mount. I like the looks of the over the mirror i just hate not seeing it in person first. My question for those who have the over the mirror mount would be, does it get in the way of removing the hard top, does it restrict ur view of rearview mirror? And also does it obnoxiously bounce around?

Mounted the radio today with the Rugged Ridge mount. As mentioned, will probably remove the mic when not using the radio so no cords are hanging around. Also had to mount the mic on the right side because the driver side visor got in the way.

I use the Rugged Ridge over the mirror mount. It doesn't bounce or vibrate at all, and the radio and mic is completely out of the way. It does not obstruct my view. This is my third Jeep. In the first two, I mounted my CB on the passenger side under the glove box and had the mic mounted beside the radio. I prefer this setup to either of the previous Jeeps I owned.

I purchased the Rugged Ridge over the mirror mount to test it out. Well it does not work for larger CB units like the Cobra 29LX and with the larger mirror like the stock one I have with the map lights, it's a no go. Can't use the rear view at all even if I drilled new holes forward the bracket. I added a front roll cage and will use aluminum tube brackets for an even cleaner better fit.
