I'm running with no muffler now because of my long arm kit and it doesn't sound too obnoxious, but it's starting to get a little annoying. I still have the CAT and I just had it smogged last month with no problems. Before the long arm kit I a Borla cat-back exhaust + Borla headers on a 4.0...

I finally got it all mounted and ran the Rubicon this weekend. It worked great. My SWR reading was 1.5 and that was with no adjustment on the antennae. I took the meter with me with plans to make adjustments on the trail, but never got around to it. The only problem I had was when the ARB...

Shakedown cruise on the Rubicon trail this past weekend........Love my new Rock Krawler long arm!

It was an external. It came with the Uniden 510 I won on this site a few years ago. Is one more accurate then the other (he asked afraid of the responses sure to come) ?

Is that a lug nut holding the lower sway bar link on?

I got everything mounted late last night and hooked up the SWR. Without any tuning I got 1.5 on the meter set to channel 20. I'm going to do a little fine tuning tonight and see what I can come up with. The weather channel worked fine and I heard conversations from the highway a few miles...

As if I needed another reason to drink beer.....Now I'll be looking for the coolest bottle cap to adorn my Jeep with. :givemebeer::drunk:

Yup. Also, it helps if it's warmed up too. Makes the rubber a little more pliable and it also helps retain it's shape when you put it all back together. There's a 9/16" nut on the inside once you get the plastic off.

Nope....Just a 35". Yeah, I non-op'd it last year after I broke everything. Didn't figure I needed to pay a full registration if I wasn't driving it. I just got the notice in the mail last week to renew it, but I have to finish the exhaust before I can smog it.

I haven't had a chance to mount it yet. Hopefully I'll have most of tomorrow to work on it.

I've been doing a lot of work to get it back on the road since I broke the control arms last year. So......In the past 2 months I've installed a Rock Krawler 5.5" X-Factor long arm upgrade, I finally installed my Cobra 75 CB (antenna will be mounted this weekend), I converted my dome light to...

Thanks....it looks like your jeep is the same color as mine in that pic....dark red metallic?

And the antenna cable is exactly the kind you said not to get......Though it was free when I got the radio so I'll use it for now and upgrade later. I've only had this CB sitting in my garage for about 8yrs....every year I say "this is the year I finally mount my radio and stop using handhelds!"

I have diamond plate corners, however, they were painted before I riveted them to the Jeep and I ran a bead of silicone around the edges and across the interior of the corner to protect against rusting. I'm not sure that corner will be a good ground point for anything. If all else fails I...

Thanks for the info! I would've used the "behind the light" mounting bracket if I still had my lights. I've got 4" LED's now. The grounding strap is the conclusion I came up with too. Thanks again!
