I know you won't go to the dark side, but after sleeping in my 4-door JK for the last week, I'm quite happy with it...

What! ... you didn't save the parts you cut out :p

I used Rustoleum spray on bed liner on mine, makes the feel like sandpaper.

Small world, I just answered your post on Welding Web with the pictures of my add-ons http://www.rme4x4.com/showthread.php?92708-Wrangler-Rubicon-stock-slider-extension

Keep the ground lead short. When I installed my CB I ran both wires directly to the battery and had lots of engine noise. I tried various filters without any luck. Finally, I shortened the ground lead and the problem was solved.

It's been quite a while since electromagnetic field theory classes and I have little direct experience with CB's, but I'll step into this a little bit and probably will get ass handed to me: The ground plane is very different from the DC ground to the battery measured by volt/ohm meter (rf...

My guess is even with a horrible SWR, for the short distances of trail use, you could get by, but Bottom line is: If you are concerned about the longevity of your radio, then check the SWR. If it's OK then good, if not, then tune the antenna length. It is a simple process and some on here...

Very necessary. Without, you may get lucky or you may fry the output transistors of the radio

That's commonly referred to as the "Castle" law. Why not just get the permit (for after the trip of course)

Yah, I'm all over this. It'd have to be spring for me... I'm burning all vacation time this year what with the Yellowstone Trip last July, then next week I'm going to the Bighorn Mts for a week ( just looked, this past Sat. was 2 below and 2 in of snow, brrrrrr), and then we're driving to...

Here is how I mounted a 36" Firestick II on my 2012 JK Bent a piece of Simpson Strong tie stuff from home Despot to fit the curve of the hood/fender and used an existing fender mounting screw with several layers of electrical tape underneath to protect the paint Added extra groundy...

Time to call for an exorcism... When It worked on the Cherokee, was it powered by the Cherokee? When you moved it back to your jeep, where did you tap the power? I'd try a direct connect to the battery terminals with no other wiring involved. Then move either power or ground to the intended...

In my civic the PET is class 5... :-\

Tomorrow is busy, but the weekend is open. Sorry about the geography. PM me and we'll work it out -Frieed

DAA Measuring for shorts in the cable and antenna mount can't be done with the cable on the radio. The output of the radio is an active circuit and will not read as open or hi impedance, and yes power on vs power off will make a difference. Are you sure that you are using the SWR meter...

I got boo'd out of the kitchen one day. I came home and my wife had made a batch of scones. I stood them all up on the plate in a circle. She asked what I was doing and I replied Scone Henge

I loved Steven Wrights stuff: If you shoot a mime, should you use a silencer? What's another name for Thesaurus? I spilled spot remover on my dog. Now he's gone.

What do you get when you divide the circumference of a pumpkin by its diameter? Pumpkin Pi

I kept waiting for her to honk the horn while he was under there..

I'm coming at it from the other direction. I've done nothing but trailer/barge camping with so much stuff for so long that I'm working to pare the list down to just the things I really need to allow me to be more mobile and expedition-y. Sorry to clutter the thread with non-Abner stuff...
