lol sorry i havent been on cf for a while nothings happening to my jeep recently especially since i bought my daily now i needa get that up and running before continuing the jeep mods.

basically the coax connects to the cb radio which goes through your panels or however you run the wire. the coax connects to the firestik stud which connects to the spring which goes to the antenna. the mount to the truck goes inbetween the washers on the stud.

stud:

antenna: although i suggest going 4' not 3'. im on 4 now

spring:

and fwiw, the coax:

so guess what everyone! my serpentine belt snapped, during which, grabbed onto one of the metal trans lines and puled it into the fan. now i have a hole in the line so i need to buy a new one. also replaced the belt, started it up and it flew off. so my crank pulley is out of line. damit! oh well im on vacation right now i dont need my jeep its in nj and im in nc right now. so when i get back i have to:
rip off front end.
durango steering box (i bought a while ago)
radiator
new trans line
realign rank pulley
new belt
put it all back together only with new bumper
wire lights.

woohoo!

im getting very annoyed. every time i fix something i find something else broken lol. got the pulley hammered back in place today, put the new belt on, and my alternator seizes. little bit of lube to break the rust and its temporarily good, but now i have a really bad tranny leak cause of when the belt snapped i think, so the whole underside is getting soaked and hits the exhaust pipe and makes steam/smoke. on top of that when i put the ac on, the belt hardly spins. jesus! and to top all of that off, the powdercoat shop was closed today so i took a trip there for nothing.

okay so frank and i put on a new idler pulley, and new alternator, and now it doesnt squeal at all anymore.
also i got my bumper back from the powedercoat shop! woo.

so im going for surgery on my shoulder tomorrow so i wont be able to complete my jeep for a while but still to come is the durango box swap, the bumper, and new radiator.

anyone have any tips for a trans cooler install. since my belt snapping ended up dragging my trans lines into the fan they have holes in them and leak so i figure if i have to replace them i might as well add a seperate cooler.

so i still have 2 more lights to mount somewhere on there, and i have to wire them all up. but im really happy with this. thanks again to the guys at jcroffroad for working with me on a price that fit what i needed.

so guys im still determining if i should keep removing the plastidip on the front facia and leave it off or redo it. what do you guys think looks better?
