That's really sweet but I must not understand correctly. Does that come with a GPS/CB/Radar detector as well? It's listed at $1,249. I'm clearly missing something.

That almost got me too. If you scroll down it's $25. It's 1200 for their half doors.

That was the price for their doors (4)... scroll down in that paypal oder box, the bracket is listed for $25 i think. Kind of a confusing way to place an order for sure.

I like the custom overhead setup detailed in the first response,, the one with the shelf standards!! Seems like a cheap way to get it done.

I have a similar suggestion. I recently installed a Rock Hard sport cage, and found a suggestion to use a KC Highlights light mount for a way to mount the CB to the center of the upper cross bar. I think you could call Rock Hard and just purchase the single upper crossbar, mount it to your stock cage (which it does anyway and is supper easy),, then use the KC clamp to mount your CB to the front crossbar. Although I like what was posted earlier,, I think this would look much cleaner and add to the rigidity of the stock cage. Although it will definitely be more expensive. You might be able to get Rock Hard to sell you that upper cross bar for $100. The wiring was extremely easy. I ran the power wires behind the windshield and a pillar plastics to the drivers side and ran the antenna the same way down the passenger side.

As far as I know, this has never been done before, which doubles its cool factor!!!!

Does it get in the way when putting the tops on or off?
