[QUOTE="JerryD, post: 464167, member: 17662"] You know, sometimes it's the little things that bring satisfaction. I have a Midland MXT-275 gmrs radio that has been velcro'd to the passenger side of the center console for a couple of years. I HATE it there, but have been flummoxed with where I should mount it. Available real estate in the JK cab is more like Manhattan rather than Montana, so I searched for ideas. Found a contributor in Reddit some time ago and copied his idea and since I haven't seen it on any other forum, thought I'd share. I went rummaging in my stack o' stuff and found a 2-gang galvanized electrical box cover and some nuts/bolts. A little time with my grinder, drill and the vise, and viola! [ATTACH type="full" width="353px"]126645[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full" width="351px"]126644[/ATTACH] It's mounted behind the glove box in it's original bracket so it can still be removed. I'll make an extension for the mic & speaker, but this gets the radio out of the way and isn't easily seen by ne'er do wells. Not too worried about heat generation since it's only a 15w radio. Next is mounting the overhead molle panel which will be where this radio's speaker will live, along side my ham radio. And I still have to get my 1/2 doors painted! JEEP not only means Just Empty Every Pocket, but it also means [B]J[/B]ust [B]E[/B]ndl[B]E[/B]ss [B]P[/B]rojects! [/QUOTE]
