Few mods on my 392 added: Yaesu 400 ham, Motobilt rear bumper, Metalcloak fenders, Sliders, Arb dual compressor and Switch Pro panel

[Huntingbigun]

all these mods were pretty easy and the chase across firewall made a clean install for switch pro, Ham radio and flat tow brakes. Had to etended the Arb harness and have it set up for ARB lockers which be in my new one ton axles next month. The brackets for ham were temporary as it was tight had make couple tweaks, now need my inner fenders back from powdercoat and my axles lol

The rear bumper fit nice, added 3x3 yellow chase lights inside bumper and the motobilt tag relocation kit was also well done

Switchpro was nice mount for the hemi

How much does the bumper weigh? I was think about the Next Venture aluminum bumper. I know I'm going to bend the crappy rear bumper into the body before long

65 is pretty light. I am no weight weenie but it seems like weight drop Jeeps down pretty easily..of coarse I have heavy skids, packed out fridge and a ton of gear so the bumper probably doesn't come into play

I did the front and rear Motobilt bumpers and they are excellent units for replacing the plastic junk on my JLUS. @Huntingbigun what tow rig do you have?

One of my favorite recent updates that I waited way too long to do were skidplates, a total lifesaver on Moab.

Where did you mount the FTM-400 radio? What are you doing for a speaker? I had it under the passenger seat and it's just not loud enough going down the road. Ended up picking up an ftm-500 and selling the 400. The 500 has a speaker in the head unit.

Nice build out.

Main unit under steering wheel, I had it that way on my Jku and put speaker pointing down no issues

The Yaesu MLS-200-M10 speaker will solve any noise issues: https://www.gigaparts.com/yaesu-mls-200-m10.html

Few questions about your ARB set up.
1. What is the silver cannister for?
2. Does it come with the mount brackets?
3. Where did you get it?

Looking for something to be between the compressor and hose. As we know, the compressor and connection get HOT during use. Also be nice to have a fill port more to the back of the Jeep then having to reach between the recovery gear and the fill port.

I've looked at the ADL set up. Just checking options.


TIA

I watched a Youtube video yesterday and a guy had the Motobilt bumpers. They were snow-wheeling and when he used his winch, the front bumper tore off. It looks like 7 of the 8 bolts broke off the horns using the bolts that came from Motobilt. He made a comment that he has had a few issues with Motobilt and changed to a different company. I am sure that this was just a bad batch of fasteners but you may want to check them.
