Hey Gang, i just bought this and im currently staring at my center console wondering where im going to mount it, its kinda big but its a great quality CB and i got a steal on it. Any Ideas?

Id mount it right to the passengers side of the console....easy access then.

This is all assuming Stoney and I can cut thru that metal and make a clean dremel in the plastic it will fit perfect in that spot. what do you guys think?

Well........I like the idea yes ...it will look good in that location, but if you happened to get into an accident you definetly won't have a right hand knee cap anymore. But if you like it, that's all that matters. I'm just looking at it from a safety point of view.

the only part of that that concerns me is if you think doing this would void some form of insurance...hrmmmm

 

[kj924]

OH no....I am just concerned about that fleshy part of your knee cap. If you did get into an accident where do you think your knees are going to hit first....right into those big buttons bolted to your dash....ouch!!!

Do you need a licence for the cb these days...my dad years ago had one...well actually nearly everyone had one back in the early 80's(smokey and the bandit lol) and I remember him getting a permit, licence something like that. They even had cards that they gave to other cber's from all over the world.

There was one mounted in my Lib before I bought it. I took your picture and drew a red line where it was; to the right on the console.

Definitely explore some ideas before you bust that shmee cap, haha. Let us know how it turns out.

That's where I was thinking too.

That's probably be safer.....what about in front of the 4wd lever???

would need to relocate the cig lighter and remove 2 panels behind it, and even still the HVAC gets in the way so i dont think it will fit there, thats where i originally wanted it. wouldnt mind moving the cig lighter (to the useless glove compartment even) but the HVAC is still in the way.

What i would really love would if they made a replacement kit for the glove compartment, i could mount the CB in it and it would have like a 3" deep shelf in it. would hold more than the glove compartment currently does anyway.

It's still an option, when i get to my buddy's house on thursday (he's done a bunch of CBs for our club (www.novajeepers.com) I'll throw ideas at him and see what he thinks.

Just be a bad@ss and take out your passenger air bag. That might clear some room...

jk, don't do that.

There might be a way to mod the glovebox so it fits. Where there's a will, there's a way. Cliche but true.

Yeah....that'd be my luck too. At least I haven't done anything like that YET....

It's too bad they don't make remote mount CB's like they do Ham Radio's.

I just got done putting a radio in my KJ, took about an hour. Radio body is mounted to custom bracket under the seat, control head is up on the ceiling.

Now that would be a cool idea for the cb.
