97 fzj80. Midlands mxt115 in ash tray.

[Maddjack]

Installed a Midlands mxt115 gmrs two-way radio in my 97 fzj80 ash tray compartment. Removal of the o.e.m. black plastic guides from the ash tray bracket. Then just slide the radio into the guide less factory bracket.

Nice accessible place. I did the same thing but with a 275. Like a glove.

That's a GMRS radio, not CB.

Very nice. I haven’t seen a post doing this, although it’s been brought up repeatedly. Makes me want to switch out the Uniden CB. Thanks for the post.

Gmrs radio's are all the off- road Parks use in my area.

Where did you mount the ant?

I have the 3db ghost antenna mounted on top of the front ARB bumper for now.

A few years late to this. I think this idea is so sick. Does anyone know if this works on early models? I have a 94' and I am pretty sure that metal retainer is different. At least the screw holes that mount it are.
