*This is not a "how to" posting just some pics for reference*

Lido cup holder mount with a Yaesu MLS-200M10 external speaker.

The main body of the radio is under the drivers seat for now.

Backside of the mount and speaker....Fully and easily adjustable I move the head unit around depending on whether I am stationary or driving.

Yaesu MEK-2 mic extension cable. My thinking was if need be I can stand outside the Jeep to talk. Just cut the zip tie and I am good to go.

*side note for tall dudes*
At 6'8" tall with a 39 inch inseam I have found the "ExtendMySeat" brackets to have made a HUGE difference for the better in the leg room dept. As you can see they moved the seat back almost half a foot.

Comet CA-2x4SR antenna with a Comet CP-5M lip mount. Currently on my JKU I have the same antenna and mount that are probably close to 10 years old both are still working well. The CA-2x4SR is a search and rescue antenna that is designed to take a real beating. Mine have certainly seen some harsh conditions here in upstate New York. Both antenna and mount can be had in NMO if that suits your needs.

Hopefully these pics help some folks out that are on the fence as to which way to go with their install.
