OK, I stole the idea from the YJ forum but it's a great idea so let this thread be an inspiration for all of us doing mods, maintenance, or repairs to our TJ's! :D

Personally, I installed my trusty Uniden CB into my new Rubicon. :thumbsup:

how did you run the wire for that? i've had an external speaker for a while that i've never put anywhere because i couldnt find a good enough location. i've considered there but didnt know how to hide the wire.
I ran the wire behind the plastic windshield trim. I then ran it along the dash, pooped off the piece that covers the defroster vents, to the CB which is mounted above the radio.

lets see those tires are prob 10' so thats 120" that's roughly 264% bigger than my 33s". So then 4.88 + 264% = 17.8 man I think you might be over gearing me
You're not thinking about the sheer weight of those things and how hard your now pint-size engine (relatively) is going to have to work just to overcome the momentum of those things. You're going to need a new 26-speed transmission, too, probably, just to reach 40 MPH.

But no, seriously, that was a number I made up off the very top of my head :cheers2:

Pulled dad out of a snowbank (09 Duramax) and he slid into me, crumpling my fender. This weeks not looking too promising... rolled the snowmobile over a cliff and now its spewing coolant.

I'm kind of afraid to go to the bathroom...
Because you could also be leaking coolant? :rofl:

I just wouldn't want anything useful to break :rofl:

But if I was pissing coolant I'd be a bit worried...

I now have a matching full size spare again. Also started rattle can painting my new replacement tailgate. And I also ordered Old Man Emu coil springs to pair up with my OME shocks I just did. Slowly phasing out all the Pro Comp parts lol.
