So I got a cb radio and need to know where are the best places to mount it? My cup holder is always down so I'm looking for ideas.

Yea, I was thinking of hooking up a CB also, I was gonna go over to a truck stop and check out their CB mounting kits, I would like to mount it above the rear view mirror or install it directly in front of the middle of the seat on the hump standing straight up but, IDK, I have to see what the different type of mounting kits are available. Le t me know what you find....

I've seen a couple that mount it center standing up and some right there under the steering column. I'm going to try straight up on the center console. Just have to find the correct bracket.

I was looking for brackets tonight and found some ideas on goggle image:
This looks decent: http://www.amazon.com/HUMP-MOUNT-Bracket-Radio-Floor/dp/B002L4FKY4
This may be my favorite nump mount setup....maybe? This could eliminate the OEM cup holder and the CB mounts on top of this where the slot are....

I may go with one of those types of mounts.

I don't know if you have an automatic here is how I mounted mine and yes it allows the cup holder to be down.
I wish I had a picture of it after I put carpet over it, I assure you it looks much better now.

Yea, that looks good, plus I get to use my cup holders. What's that power source your using and how did or where did you wire it into?

I just bought a car cigarette lighter socket splitter (which you can see in the pictures I posted above) and a 12V fused replacement cigarette lighter plug, then you just hook up the leads and your good to go. You could hard wire it if you want its all up to you. Running the coax cable for your antenna and any wire for that matter is all about being creative, you just have to go do it.
