If you have space on the transmission hump, CB shops sell "hump
mounts." They put the front of the radio at a viewable angle, and use
serrated edges to hold them in place on the carpet-no holes to drill.

I don't think theres room for one of them there contraptions. The same
folks that make the nifty antenna mount also make a radio mount that
goes on top of the supports that go from the roll bar to the front
window. That looks pretty cool, what do you guys think?

I started a new thread because this is a new subject. The first thread
was about antenna mounts not radio mounts.

I have a 2006 Wrangler UT (Unlimited).

Re: Mounting a Ham and CB radio.
 

That is a nice mount, mind you I had a hell of a time trying to figure what
the mounts actually look like in the pics but after I figured it, it looks
like a great idea, especially using the door surround holes to mount it...I
may try to make one of these myself...
