did u have cut and make the connection or u got a premade cable and if so what length?

thnx
I have all the coax crimping gear to cut to length. But the cable that came with the antenna was long enough and could be used without cutting. (Yes, I painted the bracket bright white to match.)

The hard part for an uncut installation would be fishing the large end through the smaller hole - It can be certainly be done without cutting off an end, but an easier access for the cable that wouldn't involve cutting would be to feed it through the black aeration grating in the middle of the tailgate (instead of through the smaller grommet hole like I did).

I got a feeling that that is for cb radios then only .. I was thinking to do this to a regular radio antenna or are they one in the same?

Assembled and installed a new roof rack- the Inno Roof Deck 140. No experience with this company before but I got the rack primarily because it’s aluminum. Super easy to put together and I put it on the already installed MoPar crossbars.

My obd port and key lock covers were delivered yesterday. They went right on. I decided to put the lock covers on dry, to see how resistant they'll be to wind and rain. If one should happen to run away from home, I'll get another set.

Where did you get the lock covers from? Are the hard material or soft rubber? Thanks

The other side of this connects to a Cobra 75 WX ST that I purchased from @millerjl a while back.

They are a 3d printed hard plastic material. Search for the seller ClickOnPC on Etsy. His name is Joe. He's a fellow JL owner, and offers a handful of different pieces at a very fair price, considering the cost of material, time, postage.

I installed the Artic rear tire delete. Pretty straight forward but took me a little over 2 hours. The 2021 Camera is a new design so I had to improvise a little with electrical tape.

Was actually a couple of days ago, but got my full Synergy lift installed with some Fox 2.0 RR Shocks! Can't wait to disconnect the sway bar and test the articulation out on the trails!

Also put on my Teraflex Alpha HD tire carrier, sanded down the quick release latch and painted it black....not a fan of red on my Jeep! Love that the spare is finally sitting nice n tight against the tailgate and people can actually see my third brake light now 🤣

What's different about the 2021 rear camera?
The 18-20 have 3 small torx screws, the 2021 is a snap in with a rear brace. The design of the camera mount uses the 3 screw mounts to hold the camera in place. Without the screw mounts nothing holds the camera in place with the artic system.

Is that likely something most people with the rk lift will have to do?
