GMRS OR VHF RADIO INSTALL ON GLADIATOR

[David G]

I got around to removing that plug from the firewall to run the power and antenna wires. Boy, what a pain to get that plug off. Anyway, all went well. Got my Anytone 5888UV installed using a passenger side radio mount I purchased on eBay https://www.ebay.com/itm/374894677335. Worked great. The ad says it fits 2020-23, but works as good on my 2025.

So - since the holes for the factory antenna are still there under the right side "trail rated" badge, and unused ... has anyone ever had or seen any type of mount that would fit in that location for a CB/MRS/HAM type antenna? Many years ago I had a small "ball" mount (about 1-1/4" in diameter instead of the more common 2") that I'm pretty sure would have fit there. Any ideas?

Except ...

So I decided to try one of these and see if I can modify it to fit a small ball (or better, NMO) right angle mount.
