Quadratec and others have a mount to put it vertically along the center console to the left of the 4wd lever. Out of the way, close by and doesn't make it a centerpiece to the car. Seems like a good option.
If you don't have a sub, you can try to hide it in the center console and notch a hole for the wire like they do for cell phones in newer cars.

I've been collecting photos of CB mounts for the same reason. I just bought a CB, and I want it to look clean. Here's a few I've collected..These are not mine. I just saved the images.

Noteworthy bit: I don't have any of the head magnet (overhead) mounts pictured for a reason (they are a bad idea IMO...Head trauma). As a medical professional I'll stress this. Head Trauma is nothing to take lightly. Adding hard items hear your head in a motor vehicle is a terrible idea.








The second is my favorite mounting option. obviously it only works for small CBs. I'll likely go with #3, as I bought the 520XL

I've had multiple CB mount locations but the one location I have come to prefer by a huge amount is overhead, just above eye level.

That's how my CB and ham radios were installed in both of my TJs... I moved the mics over to the right later on the setup in the right-most position so they were closer to the radios. Both mics are on automatic spring-loaded retrievers so I only need to grab a mic, talk, and then it gets automatically pulled back into place by spring tension once I'm done talking.

heres my last jeep



you dont really tweak your cb much once its set, and no one ever sits in the back. I put a gear keeper on the mic to keep it from hitting me
