I heard of this rumor but not sure if it's true. Can anyone confirm of this and where's the wiring and mounting point located at?
Mine plugs into the cig lighter. I think all JLs will come with that. [emoji848][emoji23]
I was hoping to go for that clean flush look without wires hanging out.
By the way, can anyone recommend of a slim yet decent CB? The old Cobra I had on my JK was just too big.
I thinks JAGS and I have the same one. Midland 75-822 handheld but yes it plugs into a 12v port. My wife and I have this one in both of our Jeeps and have been very happy with it. Biggest 'pro' is that it isn't bulky. The antenna that comes with it works poorly IMO, but if you connect it to an external antenna with coax, it works great.

I too have a Midland 75 as well and typically carry it with me as a back-up for someone who doesn't have a CB. It's a good CB and I'll most likely be using it in our JL until we can find a better solution.
Thanks! Ordering it right now on Amazon.
Nice! I think you'll find it to be a good solution. You can make the install as clean or messy as you want. Mine stays plugged in all the time, but if you disconnect it, you can just leave the coax cable wherever. I even made a metal clip on my dash to hang it on. When I'm off road, I don't have to mess around with picking it up, I just push the button and it works fine.

Nice! Do you use firestick as your antenna? If so, how high over the top of your Jeep do you go?
I went with a cheap magnetic one on my WJ (pic below). My wife has the Mopar one, similar to a fire stick and it sticks up about a foot or so above the roof (pic below). I don't really know jack shit about proper antenna height and stuff like that, but they both seem to work ok.
