How did you wire in your CB Radio?

I mounted my antenna mount to my tire carrier and thne just ran the coax through my gate and along the roll bar to the sound bar where i mounted my CB. then I took the wire from the cb along the soundbar and through the dash straight to the battery.

Ok, not a XJ, but it was a nice install for me!
Also got lucky, as there was a 10A always HOT line, with Ground in the dash there, for the AC(which I don't have)..

A Forward firing Speaker is necessary for a dash install

Well my last CB setup I wired into the cigarette lighter.. on the 97 I used a circuit tap, and ran it to an empty fuse location in the kick panel. It worked quite well so far.. Just got to work on my SWR.. which I'm pretty sure it mainly due to my CB ant. mount and it's lack of ground to the XJ.. Hoping the weather will stop with the rain in the next couple days so I can try and strip off some paint and powder coating, and see if I can't clean up the SWR readings... if not.. then I'll go to relocating my ground first then power source for the CB itself...

I tend to avoid brass NMO mounts and use Larsen's high frequency mount. I avoid pretty much anything not made for the LMR market for the specific reason of it fully encapsulates the mount (most antennas made by comet or other non-american companies don't) eliminating oxidation and they have moat of their mass at the base of the antenna to minimize the moment transferred to the roof.
