Reviews for Quadratec JK-CBMU Quick Disconnect CB Radio Mount for 11-18 Jeep Wrangler JK with Full Size CB Radios
This will work in a 2017 JK to mount a Midland MXT500 GMRS radio using the Midland-supplied cradle.
The quick disconnect feature and mounting location.
Gives me a place to mount a cb radio
I tried a couple of different locations for my Midland GMRS; none suited me, until I tried this mount
After finding out that I couldn't use my mount above the rearview mirror, this worked out very well, like the way everything looks
Very easy install, a solid mounting solution that survived a cross country drive and New England winters without issues.
Another great item. Sometimes I just don't want to leave radio in car. Like long repairs or major service.
I’m giving this 5 stars because it is exactly like it shows and the ease of installation is awesome. I have a Cobra 29LTD Classic and yes it does fit however the volume knob is hard to get at. I did submit a photo so feel free to check that out if you have the same radio.
I got this for my 2014 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited, and I am very happy with this mount!
I previously had my CB mounted above my rear view mirror. I liked the idea of having my CB there, but then found that it made my rearview mirror unusable, and also rattled annoyingly when offroading to the point that on one trip I stopped and removed my CB from that mount (I use HAM radios when offroading and use the CB during road trips).
With that in mind I set about to find a better mount and came across this. Knowing what I do now, the way the quick removal feature works on this drew me in. I installed the mount and my radio and found that it does not impede space for a passenger by much and was happy about that. I am also very happy to have my rearview mirror back. Moving my wiring through to this location was also not much trouble.
With that said, the one problem I did have was with the physical size of my radio, a Cobra 29 LX. Its size interfered with the wing nuts for the quick release and completely blocked access to my 12v outlet by the shift lever when mounted in this. That day I went to a local truck stop and purchased a Uniden Bearcat 880 which fits perfectly in this and allows use of my 12v outlet. Keep this in mind when purchasing this, at least for a JK/JKU. I am not taking off a star for this as I am more concerned about a good mount setup than the exact radio I have. I am slightly saddened for letting go of my previous radio as I really like it, but I will either sell it or use it in a different vehicle one day.
I am very happy with this mount, and would recommend this for JK/JKU owners over any other CB mount I have seen/used.
Placed in good spot and holds radio pretty well.. Just a little wiggle but if you think it over, where its mounted and how it works, you can expect rock solid. Would recommend it for anyone wanting to run a fullsize cb in their jk without drilling. My 29lxbt is right at home on the mount.
