My Firestik antenna unscrews in seconds. And there's one Jeep bolt underhood that holds the bracket in place - I can unbolt it and put the bolt back in and there's no bracket there at all. Viola! No signs of a CB anywhereI am FAR from a comms expert and even further from an enthusiast. My focus was a hidden setup and I wanted a single antenna to keep it that much more minimal. I’ve seen many people use it without issue, but I also only have a 2’ FireStik and am concerned I should have gone for a 3’. Back to the drawing board! I’ve been referencing these guys for knowledge.

Also, a pretty trick mount that looks clean is the CoolTechLLC if you change your mind. It’s what I put on mine and I routed the cabling by the dash/center console/ carpet area - similar to where you had your arrows. I’ll have to snap a pic at some point.

The Cooltech Mic Mount is nice - it's been around for some years - very popular with the Jeep CB'ers but again, due to clutter, it's not for me.
I hope you get your CB issues sorted out. It's frustrating dealing with comms issues. You just want them to work (like doing electrical wiring - there's that one final step of turning something on while hoping it works)!
