Yeah I'm gettin there don't worry. And make sure you pb blast the **** outta the shock bolts for like a week before you start them. Thts your best bet. But assume they Will break and get yourself an air hammer. Or a mallet and a nailset and a lot of anger lol

hey guys, going to start with the cb stuff.

probably gonna get a cheap $40 cobra cb radio, but honestly im not sure what antenna to get, how big, and how much cable to get to run it to the mount. probably gonna get one of xj firefighters tail light mounts https://www.cherokeeforum.com/f74/ta...ntenna-155240/

so yeah. antenna suggestions? i plan on using some type of spring on the mount from xjfirefighter.
and also how much cable to get to go to the taillight?

thanks.

My diff vent line thing got torn off as well. It took all of ten minutes to fix. Get a long enough hose, pull the old one off, and put the new one in. Just make sure you get it out of the way of the front driveshaft. I zip tied mine to the frame.

quick update. went to the junkyard. got my durango steering box and also a drivers seat from a 1999 grand cherokee. holy crap i enjoy driving now with the new seat. cant wait to get the steering box in.

and for anyone looking to do the seat swap. it was like 75 for the seat and its literally just 4 bolts to take the rails off the xj seat and directly mount it to the zj seat. so worth it. especially if your seat is rocking all over the place or crooked. lol

also brought my jeep to meineke cause my heater core was leaking. the one that they had replaced so i was really pissed about that. but it turned out it was just a hose clamp so thats good. they also told me my injector 1 is leaking gas so i think ill be getting 703s from a neon soon lol. hey that might also explain the terrible gas mileage lol

waiting for xj fire fighters tail mount to set up the cb. should be here today or early next week i hope.

Yeah works great. Threw in a self tapper for an added support point on xjfire's mount. Also using a 4' now cause my buddy found 3 in his garage and have them to Kyle so it worked out. I had to wrap the mount in electrical tape tho cause it was grounding on the wrong spot. Idk I'm not a cb expert. I'm a noob lol. But very thing works great and looks good too. Even have smashed up a parking garage and the spring worked wonderfully
