Replaced stock steering stabilizer with Fox 2.0. Nice improvement over stock especially with the 37x13.5 tires. Also it matches my Fox shocks from my Mopar lift which is a nice plus. Install was super easy. Just (2) 18mm bolts torqued to 59 ft-lbs. Took about 10 minutes. I rate this install at 0.25 beers + the rest upon completion. As always, had the help of my trusty companion for project management.

Do they offer a dust shield for the Fox damper? I never like having exposed components in areas where I tend to have thick layers of mud build up.

Trusty companion? I thought it was one of those new four-legged winches!

She looks great BTW!

I am more and more looking at adding one of these in addition to the CB. I think this is the year when we start to see more conversion away from CB to GMRS. Couple questions though.
1. Any antenna? Length still matter?
2. Do you need to tune the Antenna

Can I put a splitter on my CB PL259 and attach to both radios at the same time?
I got the 6db gain Midland antenna also and a magnetic mount. The antenna that comes with the MXT275 is very short. You could just leave it up all the time. The 6db antenna is much longer, but still half the length of CB so I'm happy. So yes LENGTH definitely matters..... I'll unscrew it from magnetic base when I'm m not using it and put some type of cover over base and leave base on roof rack. I recieved 15% off using FARM15 code on Midlands website and was happy. Now they are having a 20% off sale. Not sure it gets a lot better.... Maybe Black Friday. They also have a 40W mobile unit. I wanted the power, but Jeep has minimal space available for mounting so I went with 15W unit where all the controls are on mic. There's also GMRS privacy codes that I think allow you to talk to someone with much much less chance of being heard vs CB.

In terms of tuning I get the impression you don't have to. Just plug it in and start using.

In terms of splitter someone smarter than me would have to answer.

Id also like to know if there's a way to hook the speaker output on these units to the back of Jeep's stereo or is plug front aux plug only option??

I just ordered the Dynomax muffler delete pipe from Quadratec. They price matched Summit for 89 bucks instead of their 99 bucks. It is on back order but I can wait

Looks like a stalwart companion, and a formidable manager of project perimeter security. Bull Mastiff?

Good question. I should look into that. I agree. But didn't come with one....
