That is the infamous "Bandi" mount fabbed up in the mind of a user named Bandi over on another FJ Cruiser only forum.
He got so many orders for them he could not keep up, and sold the rights to All Pro who now is producing them.
I have serial #6 made by Bandi before he stopped making them.
I think Bandi made around 30 units or so until he sold the patent to All Pro.
Very ingenious mount, works perfect, and all you do is push out a pice of plastic that was there, and insert the Bandi mount and a bolt and nylock nut.
Walcott CB is even selling a complete package with that mount, the Cobra 75 unit, and an antenna called the Big Bill package.
Bill is a member over there too that did a big writeup on installing all of the above, and now Walcott carries the whole setup that he installed in his FJ.

Excellent, will have to get that. I did not realize that Walcott sold the Bandi now. I am running with a handheld and a magnetic mount as a stopgap presently until I get up the gumption for the wiring run inherent to a permanent install.
well with as hard as its been to get love from some members of the cruiser community (not necessarily you) we need the love from the manufacturers.
but in all honesty this is the advantage of owning anew vehicle that fits into the mainstream offraod market segement. i dont think theres too many ppl that would go for this type of thing even in the FJc niche, but i bet theres even less that are lookin to put somthing like this on a new Land Cruiser.
Bandi made mine also, second batch of 15 pieces, great work and design.
Bandi Mount is definately the way to go!
Ditto on the Bandi Mount. I had to get mine thru AllPro. Works great and looks like it belongs there.
Someday I will need to get me one of those...
...
I did actully get one from All-Pro in Dec., since I sold all the
ones I made, well except for the prototype... Anything can
be manufactured for any vehicle, as long as there is a
market for it, and a design that works... Someday we will
have a disco setup too...
...
I should be working on that this weekend.Someday we will
have a disco setup too...
Replacing my headliner lamp with a huge disco ball
He he he, hopefully doing a aux. fusebox under the hood, 2 x 12v outlets in the back.
I need a live 12v power source for my ARB fridge I picked up a few weeks back.
Walcott also sells a complete FJ CB kit that revolves around the Cobra 75 and a Bandi Mount:

This kit has been installed by several FJ owners, a few reviews of which are at the bottom of the page.

Corey,
I've done mine over the last couple of weekends (with a lot of help from friends). Now there's a fuse panel under the passenger kickplate, my phone charger, 4 IPF lights, and my CB are all wired up and working. The CB antenna is on a bandi mount. I'll snap some pics when I can and post up somewhere.
Sounds good Heather.
I ordered the fuse taps from here
http://www.gizmos-gadgets.com/product_info.php/products_id/99'
However I have a change of plans now.
I ordered one of those aux boxes
http://www.northeastmarineelectronics.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=2750
Going to try to at least get the box mounted under the hood, and if time a friend will help on the two 12v plugs in the back.
Here is where he put his plugs, we will do the same.

The bandi has not installed his bandimount yet
I just realized too above my picture changed, it no longer shows your mount.
That file name points to a picture I rotate on the front end of my website.
So without further ado, I represent the bandimount.
You will like the aux. box, it is top quality.

Another shot of the Bandi Mount.
I just received mine in too... Now need time to
start setting it up... Heck, I still need to get my
bandimount installed...
Wow. Installing that Bandi mount is a pain. Seriously, popping off an exposed piece of plastic and tightening one nut can take an entire minute. You better get to work.
