Nice clean installI know some of you were waiting to see the installed pics so here you go...
Uniden CMX660
Wilson Flex 4' 5/8 wave
Firestick Firering coax
Custom mount
Radio works GREAT and I am pleased with how the install turned out.
So how has this mounting location for the CB unit been working out for you? I have a Uniden 520 XL that I pulled out of my JK, but I can't find an acceptable place for it in my JLU. I stumbled upon your install of the CMX660 and it looks great. Any issues that you've run into?I just lay the mic next to the ebrake handle.
I can still pop the cover off for the park release if I need to.
No issues at all. Love the radio too. I can tell you that a 520 or even a 510 will not fit there. Having run the 510s in the past I can tell you that the 660 is a much better radio. It is twice as expensive though.So how has this mounting location for the CB unit been working out for you?

Thanks. Yeah, I realize my 520 won't fit. I was looking at the all-in-one Cobra or the portable Midland, but I may just give the 660 a chance.No issues at all. Love the radio too.

I’d had gone with a 40watt GMRS, but ya gotta run what the people you are wheelin’ with run...I keep flip flopping on a centuries old CB with or Rugged Radios dual band (VHF/UHF) handhelds.
