what eddie said. there are some better ones that are just over $100 that will be tougher to mount due to size but will work better. another middle ground option (if you like to call if that) is the cobra 75. its small and does a great job all for around $100.
here is a pic of it

How are you unlimited peeps running your coax? My local CB shop told me not to exceed the 18' of the cable length (no extensions) and I can't seem to route it cleanly past the rear of the front seats. Any tricks? (tailgate mounted antennas that is.)

i dont have a jku BUT i have enough coax left sitting in my tailgate that i think i maybe able to help. i ran mine under the plastic floor trim and just followed all off the wires to the tailgate. i prob have 4ft or so of coax left just chillin in my tailagte door lol

I think I have about 20' started with 25' - I mounted my CB on the dash above the radio (for now) I have coax running through the dash behind the glove box then down to the floor and along the floor under the carpet with the other wiring all the way to the back, I do have it going on top of the wheel well and then into the looping with all the other cables into the back door, out the plug and mounted...I do have enough slack to move my radio to the future front cage and haven't had any issues.
I did tune it in a very open area and have great transmission and reception - cobra 29, 4' firestick. I did not use the all in one coax end, my neighbor showed me how to lay the outer shield back soldered to ring connector for ground and works great

I installed a Firestik Firefly 3' on spare mount and a Uniden cheap CB. I wasn't 100% where to mount it, so I fed wires under drivers seat and sandwiched the cb radio between seat and center console. It actually fits quite snug, can be heard loud and clear (10-4 Good buddy!) and is easy to see adjustments/display. In all honesty, I'll probably just keep it there...I'd take a pic, buttttt I'm in crappy SF and my wife is driving the Jeep all week. Haha!

Can you guys give some ideas on CB's over 100 that you guys recommend. I just got my roll cage installed so I have somewhere to mount it. I think I read you can use the KC light mount to mount it to the roll cage.

I can post some pics of how I ran mine a little later. But I just ran it under the floor carpet (I'm only going to the center console thou so I have about 1 to 2 ft left.) Mine was a 18" also and tail gate mounted. I'm running the cobra 75.

18' fill make it all the way to the rear view mirror from the tailgate via the roll cage with a foot or so to spare.

Like Overlander said cobra 29s, also the uniden 880, and 980 Bearcats are good and if you really wanna invest go with galaxy, stryker, or mirage
