So I just put on a orfab tire carrier and mounted my antenna. How do I run my coax cable through the jeep itself? Does anyone have experience running these? As of now I have the coax running over the tailgate but I don't like it. I've seen coax cables routed through elsewhere in pics but I can't get a good enough close up of how they did it. Any help?

 

I didn't want coax cables and crap all over everywhere so I ran my wires like this (Teraflex antenna mount) The hole on right is from where bumpstop was, and before I did tramp stamp, I had it running through where the original taillight wiring was (same cap idea) I got the caps for a few cents at Ace Hardware and just drilled small hole (smaller than coax) so the coax would be snug with no leaking

 

How did you fit the coax through that little hole?

 

Here is a pic showing side angle.. Wanted you to see the room between carrier and cb mount

 

If you already soldered the end that goes into cb you will have to desolder It take all coax back out and run wire through the cap, through tailgate and under carpet back up to the front and solder it back on.

Mine in ran into cap, through tailgate, and comes out where the wiring mesh is next to tailgate plastic bar cap.. You can't see my wiring cause I ran it through that black mesh that leads into carpet area. From there mine is run under carpet down the side until passenger seat. Then it crosses by floor board and runs still under carpet next to center console and comes out front of console and into cb

 

Well I just have the regular non soldering type of coax and connectors. Also right by the latch on the carrier is where I mounted my antenna. (You have the exact non can carrier I have.) I wanted to use their mount on the tire carrier.

 

I figured ya did. You were debating on mine when it was for sale

I changed a few things on my carrier. I have a few things painted that I could stand and I and also a few other little helpful add ons

 

(bedlined sprayed now so no rust)

(bedlined plate)

(bedlined key hole and plate)

Anytime you get any nicks or anything, just spray rustoleum bedliner spray in a box, use a little detail paint brush dab and dab brush on nicks (it'll blend right in and you won't even be ale to tell)

 

OoooOh. You were the one selling it. So you kept it huh?

 

For now... Actually the Jeep is for sale as we speak.

Here is pic of rear to give you better idea of carrier plate painted
