Anyone know of a good mount that goes to the top of a JL windshield? I saw something on wayoflife, but it was $160. I want something under a $100.

you could probably make something similar with parts from lowes or home depot.

Do you already have the radio? Midland has several that you can hide the head in the dash and operate off the handset.

Yeah I can mount my radio on the passenger side center console, but I want it up by my head where I can hear it better.

Most of the models have the speaker on the handset. I hang mine on the dash like s2k’s above. Loud and clear.

I’m hearing impaired and use hearing aids(only when I’m with company other than family) and couldn’t hear the handset much at all. So I mounted an overhead speaker that works with the freedom panels and the sunrider top. The head unit is under the seat with a Cat 6 extension for the hand unit.

I have mine mounted to the overhead molle panel but that was also about $160. There's a piece of trim just above the windshield that I imagine you could drill into though to mount a handset.

I think it's worth the extra money though for a molle panel. That way you can mount the radio and the headset in the same place.

Here's an option till I get a better set-up. A handheld 8W Baofeng UV8R with a battery eliminator and a handheld mic. Mounts are from bulletpoint. The radio is a dual band Ham radio that also covers GMRS frequencies. Yes, I have both my Ham and GMRS licenses.

This is similar to my mount, although I do plan to move the radio to under my driver's seat and leave just the handset and faceplate up there. See this thread for more info:

This is my setup. I use a AnySecu WP-9000 ($110 on amazon) radio that has the screen and speaker in the mic. I mounted the main unit in my glove box (its really tiny and doesn't get very warm) and used the mic mount that comes with the radio and has double stick tape, then run the mic cord out the glove box. I got this mount (Rugged Ridge | CB Antenna Mount | 11503.97 | Fits 2018-2024 Jeep Wrangler JL) about $34 on Amazon. I drilled the mount out to accept a NMO mount. I used a right angle NMO roof mount

(https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00LNE2ZSC/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1) and ran the coax thru the access hole behind the spare to the front. Antenna is a shorter Diamond so it does not bang when I go in and out of the garage. When on the trails or traveling, I have longer higher gain antenna's that I use. The radio is only 25 watts but seems to do pretty well. Works great on trails with others that are using GMRS.

I ended up buying a molle rack and mounted it in between the driver and passenger side.

Which bulletpoint mount are you using for the Mic? Looks like one of the phone mounts?
