Respectfully, Jon and others, but my post is starting to wander.
How did we get on to pedestal mounts? AFAIK, a pedestal is a mount in the back of a vehicle and no where did I bring this up in my query.
What I did indicate was the presence of the side mounted GPMG mount, typical of Militia jeeps.
I did also note today when looking at my jeep, that it has the wire guard on the back floor to protect the radio cable running from passenger side to driver side. Was this part of the dual setup or was it also used because radio mounting location had been changed from passenger to driver side?
I know the power supply comes in just behind the passenger seat and it is still there. Maybe radio types/ veh techs might have some answers, Rob, Jon???

The wire guard on the floor was not unusual. It could indicate mounting of a radio on the left fender vs the right, and may have nothing to do with dual IKEE setup.

As to wandering threads on MLU???? Never happens.

Hi Chris , I do not remember ever seeing a CDN 2 or 3 without the guard and I think the floor also has welded speed nuts for it from the factory,

That was my experience as well....pretty much every jeep had the guard.

Thanks guys, thats what I was looking for.
My first CDN3 is missing the guard, so I was not aware of the relevance towards one radio installation or another.
Was the adotion of the rear fender support brackets on both sides common practice as well? By that I mean to say, was it usual to install these extra supports on both sides whenever the CFTO was produced/was this done under a CFTO or was it factory ordered under the various contracts, beit Ford or Jeep?

Photos would save a lot of BS but if you are talking about what I think you are talking about they came from the factory.

Rob, I will endeavor to take a few pics and get them on here. I find pic posting is usually a PITA here on MLU, maybe its my lack of computer savvy...
