I sent the OP a PM regarding this, but figured I'd post my questions here too, so hopefully anyone that has followed his setup can chime in. I'm hoping to get started on my install this morning. Thanks.

1.) When running the wires out of the cabin into the engine bay, do I need to drill at all, or is there already a hole for other wires?

2.) The instructions for the Cobra say to connect power source directly to the battery, how did you make it stay in place? Just wrap the wires around the battery terminal?

3.) Did the power wire that came with the Cobra reach the battery, or did you need to get more wire?

5.) How did you keep the power wire to the battery from sitting loose in the engine bay? Just zip tie it out of the way?

6.) Running the antenna back to the tailgate, is it pretty easy? Is there something under the Jeep to keep it from sagging/drooping down?

 

on the passenger side turn the heating vent half turn and remove, you can then unclip the side panel by pushing from the inside. you will then see a piece of foam like the spray expanding stuff, poke a coat hanger through this, attatch wires and pull back through to your battery.

 

Found it, thanks. That was helpful.

 

I just finished up my Homelink mirror, wired that into the cig lighter, no more loose garage door opener flying around....I have a Cobra 75 that I had in my F150, does anyone have a suggestion for an antenna? I was just looking at Cool Tech's web site, I think I'll buy a VersaMount and I like the CB antenna Quick disconnect, does any of the discount online retailers sell Cool Tech stuff or is evryboy just buying it from thier website? What about the antenna disconnect, anyone have one, any issues with it?

 

Toad,

This is great, thank you thank you and thank you. I'm working on it right now, I'll let you know if I run into any problems.

 

Just got mine in, Thanks Toad.....

antanna...


Radio....



New light....



and a little sumpin sumoin for the cell phone and other things...

 

Any more pictures of the CB's recepticle? How about night photos of the Light??? And where did you get the change holder thing? Custom made? I hate how the JK has no place for change. The TJ had a nice spot!

 

I will get more pics for you tonight. As for the change holder, I picked it up at pep Boys for $4...and the fit was perfect. The only thing I did to it was put on a little Gorrila glue instead of the 2 sided tape. Works great.

 

Here ya go, Guinessdawg

 

Just a quick thought here, would the connector for the handset fit in the cigarette lighter or accessory lighter hole?
