Didn't DO anything but was just looking under the Jeep to check on things and saw the extended brake lines I installed about a month ago had rubbed the tires! The protective plastic over the braided stainless steel line is worn through in a couple of spots. I think I am cursed.

So my Cobra CB crapped out on the Sunday we were at Slickrock. JKzinger helped me figure out it was just the speaker that went out. This is the popular model with most of the electronics and the speaker in the hand microphone.
Anyhow I ordered a Uniden 20 and installed it. I don't use the screw caps to hold in my roof so I routed the wire through this area and also used a bolt to hold the speaker bracket. The wire is in the roll bar a pillar all the way to under the glove box.
It looks stock. I drive with it flat so I don't have a blind spot but I can angle it towards me in less than 10 seconds of I want to. In both cases it is plenty loud.
I also put a new antenna and antenna mount on as my wife drove into a mall garage and ripped off my old setup.
Took the freedom panels and front doors off.
I need to rotate my tires in the next 500 so that is probably this week. I need to have a retorque party where we go and re torque all suspension bolts. Just for maintenance. Sliders etc.

I got the one that covers passenger area. Not the super tough one as I the one I got cost less and lets in a bit more light. Holds up to tree branches etc. no issues. Love it. Was something like $75 with overnight shipping. I think if you type in JINGLE they give you free shipping.
They are super nice. I called and told them exactly what I needed. Left a message. This was on a holiday weekend. They called me back understood my needs and helped me decide on what to get and shipped on a Saturday.

I have our annual company golf (drinking) tournament Saturday. I am 3/4 of the way through installing my new Dynatrac ball joints and also installed a OEM rear driveshaft I bought from a forum member as mine had torn the boot on a rock.
