i struggled with the same probkem in my soft top '03 TJ. i finally mounted the radio body in the 'trunk' and the control head on an articulated Lido mount attached to a slanted flat spot to the left of the shifter and ahead of the parking brake lever. i use a strip of velcro along the top of the control head and another along the bottom edge of the upper dashboard to keep the control head from shaking and vibrating while in motion. the control and power cables were easily run to the 'trunk' and into the engine compartment. i mounted a dual-band Larsen glass-mount antenna on the top center of the windshield in a spot outside the arc of the wndshield wipers. the cable is tucked almg the top of the windshield. the speaker is mounted along the top just below where the soft top secures to the chassis. works well but it's a compromise. sorry, no pictures with us as we're on vacation.
