That's a cool CB radio. Is everything in the hand piece or is there a main unit mounted elsewhere?
By the way, I was guessing it was a new mount for your radar detector.

Ed, the CB has a small remote mounted box that is grounded to the body, the antenna connects to the small control box along with the mike, it is only about 2"x2"x4" in size.  All of the controls and speaker are in the hand held mike.  One problem with this Cobra Model 75WXST is that the small speaker is not very powerful and is hard to hear with even the slightest breeze outside or any other vehicle noise from surrounding vehicles.  I installed a small 10-watt 4" square external speaker just above my rearview mirror that improved the sound volume and quality tremendously.  The wife and I now don't have to look at each other and ask "what did they say"?   It was quite annoying.

Oh and to the comment about you thinking it was for a radar detector.....  the first clue that was not what it was for should have been that it was going in a Jeep.   Jeep and radar detector needs should NOT be in the same sentence.
