As much as Cindy and I LOVE the completely redesigned interior of the all new Jeep JL Wrangler and JT Gladiator pickup truck, finding a place to mount a full size CB Radio or hard mounted HAM, GMRS or Race Radio, proved to be a real challenge. And, that's why I decided to make the CB BAR. Designed as an overhead system and to accommodate a full size CB Radio like a BEARCAT 980 or an old school Cobra 29, the CB BAR is a 100% bolt on mount that utilizes existing holes in the factory roll bar to install it. In other words, NO DRILLING, NO CUTTING and NO REMOVAL of any of the interior trim is required! I also designed the CB BAR to work with a hard top, soft top or no top and without blocking the rear view mirror or interfering with the sun visors, header latches or Freedom Top locks. The best part about the CB BAR is that it's super easy to install, can be done in just minutes using a few basic tools and this episode of the JL JOURNAL will show you how.

I've watched a lot of these CB install vids for JL's and this one by far is the best. I was a radar and UHF/VHF radio tech in the Air Force and my first Job out of the military was a job at a CB shop located in a truck stop. This channel nailed it. Far better routing of the power and antenna coax and proper grounding of both. A bad ground connection on the antenna will prevent proper tuning giving a high standing wave ratio which will impede radio performance and could over time damage the transmitter final output stage of the radio. I will be getting this bar for my JL. Thanks for a great video. You earned another subscriber today.

I ran your video again on the install of the CB BAR as I didn't see other instructions. Super simple and easy install. It took more time to reinstall the freedom tops as this was my first time having them off. ( I made sure that the logo faced to the back so everyone in the Jeep can see it and I will send the curious to you.) Happy to be back in my Pumpkin Pi. Thanks and God bless.

I know this is a few years old... but fantastic video! I am an engineer and have been putting radios in Jeeps for 35 years (as a hobby). I have lost count of how many radio systems I have 'fixed' for people by simply adding a ground strap to the tailgate or panel the antenna is mounted to. You are going to save a lot of people some frustration of wondering why they can't talk a mile down the road.

You might want to put a small piece of vaccum hose where the coaxial cable pops out in front. I had the one on my VHF ground out from rubbing the casing off. Talking on the radio was a joke with it like that. LOL Even some good tape would be enough to protectbit as long as it is watched for rubbing. Love the bar idea! I was thinking of just going with one of the smaller Cobra radio's. Ran a Cobra 19 in a big truck when my radio was in, that little radio was getting out better than the classic sitting beside me. I had matched set of 6' fiberglass whip antenna's that really helped it. The guy with classic wasn't happy, because he was the owner of the little radio I was using...lol

Great video. Ham radios that are remotely mountable I think are the way to go. One only need to study a little bit, and pass a test for the entry level license. One can install the body of the radio in a location that is protected from possible water penetration, as well as out of the field of view. The control head, mic and speaker can then be installed in an accessable location within reach. I use a Lido gooseneck mount that attaches to the seat mounting bolt.. The advantages of amateur radio over citizens band are enormous. They use FM instead of AM, and can run more legal power. They also operate in the VHF/UHF spectrum where there is no band noise. It's a little bit more trouble than a cb radio initially, insofar as the licensing but we'll worth it in the end.

I recently passed my HAM test (Technician)... The proctors encouraged me to try the General test... I had yet to study much for the General and had yet to be able to pass any of the sample General tests that I had taken... Surprisingly, I ended up passing the General... The proctors then encouraged me to take the Extra test also, just for shits & giggles, but since I had not even read the question pool, I had no expectation whatsoever that I might pass it (and I didn't)... My only goal was the Technician, so passing the General was a pleasant surprise... There is FM on CB these days, so that doesn't count as a reason to go the CB route vs the HAM route... The issue is what will you be using the radio for... If you are involved in a group activity (offroad or otherwise), you use whatever they are using... That might be CB, FRS, or GMRS... If you just need the radio because you want to listen to conversations on a long drive or as emergency communications in areas without cellular service, having more options is better and as such, having a radio that can do some of the HAM channels and the CB channels might be something that you would want to look into... The radio that I ordered does 10-12m and if I turn the power all the way down, it is in the legal power range for CB... In a TRUE emergency situation, I'm not going to be concerned about being legal with respect to power or frequencies though... I'm not particularly motivated to talk to random strangers on the radio though... Especially on the HAM or GMRS frequencies where you need to give your FCC call sign and which anyone could look up to find your real name and address on the FCC database... That is a MAJOR security issue as far as I'm concerned... So, I'll just lurk the channels...

If I may, I like the product but I think it will have more value if you include a place for the wiring to go through the bar and some wire loom to wrap the wiring. You can do the wiring first and then run it through the bar with a convent exit hole to the radio. Now the windshield can be lowered with no issues.

Some clear plastic tape would have been good on the roll bar to keep from rubbing the paint off. I got that idea from the spider top that you just installed. As always another great video!!!
@wayalife
@wayalife 5 жыл бұрын
The clear tape on the Spiderweb Sunshade install is used to prevent rubbing of the paint due to "movement" of the top. Once bolted on, the CB BAR will NOT move. In other words, clear tape shouldn't be needed. But, if you've got some laying around, I don't think it'd hurt to use :)

The bar I ordered is different than the one you installed. Mine has a gap which made it difficult to mount the cb bracket. It took several washers to fill the gap so the radio would fit in the bracket. Sure would have been easier if the gap didn't exist on the bar.

This video was made over 5 years ago and I have since improved the bar to be a universal accessory bar that can accommodate just about any device. The following is a link to the instructions for it: wayalife.com/threads/acc-bar-jeep-jl-wrangler-jt-gladiator-overhead-accessory-mount-installation.64450/ That said, I am sorry to hear you had difficulties installing your radio. It really is the first time I've heard of anyone having problems but glad that you were able to figure something out.

Serious question! How do I determine the required voltage for the antenna ground? The closest cb to mine is a Cobra 19 ultra, 4w in and almost 18 volts of direct current to transmit. I'm guessing i need an 18 volts ground? What ground cable did you/ he use?

@wayalife
@wayalife 3 жыл бұрын
The CB BAR itself sits just a little in front of the sun visors. If you hit the sun visors, you'll hit the bar. The size of the radio you mount would be the bigger concern as a full size unit can sit pretty far forward. If you're a tall guy and are concerned about this, I would recommend that you install my switch mount/relocation bracket and use a smaller radio. This will get the radio well out of the way of your head. This video will show you what I'm talking about. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/h89nbMl71LvVg6s.html

Make sure your antenna mount stud is installed correctly. The nylon washer has a step and it needs to sit inside the mount hole so that the threads on the stud do NOT touch the mount itself.
