Honestly, with the jeep adapter, the short stubby antenna is great, dont loose signal, and sits right along side of my windshiled mounted fog light. the pain in the arse is the adpater, but overall quality is great. If anyone needs help with this, I can get the antennas petty cheap and ship

From hardware store, I bought a bunch of different sized black plastic round plugs/caps. Great for unused holes on frame, bumpers, TF carrier, the four interior bolt holes where the tops of the a-pillars meet the top windshield cross, anywhere you'd like to cover up some empty voids

Wrapped my door handles with paracord. I think I'm going to do the handle on the dash and e-brake handle next.

Default almost free mod

I noticed when I do a steep climb , my radiator overflow tank leaks onto the motor. I got some tubing for a couple of bucks and extended the breather for the overflow tank down to below the axle. It works great. Just take a look at the overflow tank and you will see how it leaks from the tank. My jeep is a 2008 , maybe newer ones are different .
