What was done to your JK this week?
Holy cow - have been working to figure this out for literally MONTHS! So, like several have had, I had issue when keying my CB mic that would scramble all my dash warning lights (airbag warning, engine warning... etc), recycle power to the head unit (radio), wipers going crazy.
So, over the course... I have swapped CB radios three times, changed location, re-wired, changed antennas, antenna location...
Finally discovered two things that were contributing: the antenna mount grounding... I've found that removing the ground from the tub and grounding to the frame, paired with a longer whip antenna solved the issue. The tub ground with shorter whip was throwing too much RF into the CAN-BUS. After all this, I'm able to keep the SWR to about 1.3 and the jeep is happy.
Holy crap what a PITA!

I had some scrap 3/16th steel so I made a steering stabilizer bracket and welded it in place. Much happier now that it flipped and out of the way.

I recognize that jeep from the Instagram page jkjeepsofamerica! Looking great!
