I watch your video plus a couple of others, gotta say your's looks the cleanest. Where did you get the wiring harness for your power?

Thanks! We really appreciate that. We're not expert video makers by any means, but we tried to be as thorough as possible to help the viewers. Here's the link to our accessory tap:

Nice install! Where did you get that CB mount that mounts by the passenger grab handle?

What is the advantage of taking apart the whole dash to tie into the power as opposed to running direct from battery.

Seems like from battery requires much less tearing apart of dash

It's a much cleaner job to tie in to an accessory power supply. Not to mention, we don't have any loose wires running directly from the battery. When we shut the jeep off, the CB system will shut off as well, rather than becoming a parasitic drain if we forget about it and leave it on. The dash is VERY easy to remove in the 2011-Current JK. It requires a single flat-head screwdriver and a 7mm socket. Without pausing to record a video, we can pull the whole thing out in just around 5 minutes.
