I do not have an engine heater on mine. We see -30 to -50 where I am and have zero issues starting today's engines. The only thing I have a block heater on is my diesel.
Always good to see another 2dr. If you ever get back to West Yellowstone give me a shout and we can go stir up some dirt somewhere. The museum in Duboise is the bomb for sure!
I removed the Antenna from the top of the roll bar which is done from the bottom after removing the trim panel. Unplugged it and added the coax extension which is plug and play.
I had limited resources here in town.. I would have preferred black zip tie pods but this will have to do. Ultimately where you mount the antenna will depend where you mount stuff on your rack but there is plenty of extension to do that. I had to drill a 1/2' hole to allow the antenna plug to...
With my trailrax and the fact I will never remove my hard top I used this kit. Had to modify the mount plate to bolt to my rack but no more issues. 40 bucks and about an hour.
Sorry to see this my build week brother. Glad to know that you and the pooch are ok. Sorry for the bad luck but I know you will be like the six million dollar man....Better faster stronger. Hang in there brother!
