Well i ran my wires under the headliner while I had it out and then down the A pillar to under the dash. The headliner is held up by All the trim that is covering the headliner, the dome light, and the sun visors. In the front there is a strip of velcro and on the sides there are steel clips. Pretty easy for me because I already had the trim out. The cb worked pretty well and you dont see any wires. I like the location but its really a matter of opinion.

Thank you for the interesting thread. I like it, and most of all I like the budget aspect. As you say, most of us on here are after cheap and good, wherever possible.

Anyway---when you say dye, do you mean paint? Or is there some kind of dye you rub on plastic and fabric?? Thanks.

sorry I aint been on...Ive been busy with other stuff. I finally got my drive shaft back and in. It took him 4 weeks to do it but he thru in another shaft and cut the price in half so I guess its cool. I just bought another jeep last night. Its a 96 2dr 5sp. It has the 4.0, ax15, dana 30 and cryco 8.25. It needs a new tcase which I have and a frt fender. It has 135,000 miles and I paid 400 bucks!!! He also gave me a different tcase to use. COuldnt pass up the deal. Runs great. Gonna get my old one done and then hit the new one hard. Im gonna fix it and dd it for a while prolly. Gotta get back and forth to my new job...gonna hate givin up cheap parts but I gotta make more money! Ill get pics up of the copper one later.
