Anyone have good/bad/crazy experiences installing radio gear in a CJ?
I'm an amatuer radio guy and I do a lot of ARES (Amatuer Radio Emergency Service) work. Since my new vehicle is going to be a CJ I'm looking at options to install radios without killing the electrical and without having them out in the weather.
Points of special interst on this CJ:
- Looks like the standard alternator - will probably upgrade it.
- Has an Optima - Will high draw do bad things to it?
- Radios will be in the tuff box, just control heads on the dash.
Any advice and stories welcome.
Thanks,
