I totally agree that CB is not good to use on the trail.
However, if you are just trying to communicate between vehicles that are less than 500 yards apart, then it should be fine. Just find and open channel (there are 40 of them). If you are in your convoy heading to the trail you may have...
I use the RVI Brake system. No wiring, except for the breakaway switch.

Yes, I think it is possible, but it is beyond what I am willing to do. This is about safety. Towing a large vehicle down the road with something I have welded and modified this much would not give me confidence.
I need to get under the Gladiator and look. I think I could use longer bolts.
On my TJ I tow with the towbar attached to the welded eyelets on an aftermarket bumper. I emailed Warn about their Elite Series Full Width Front Bumper as far as towing with the welded eyelets. Their response was it...
I have been doing some research about tow baseplates and the factory steel bumper with a winch installed. I had planned to use a Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit https://www.etrailer.com/Base-Plates/Jeep/Gladiator/2020/RM-521453-5.html?VehicleID=202098718

"Good afternoon Kent,
Somebody from the engineering department at Roadmaster just contacted me, and has told me that the winch WILL indeed prevent the installation of the base plates, as the base...

Doesn't your knee hit it??

You are missing out on HF. Talking to people in other countries is great fun and kind of addictive!
I'm having a great time doing SOTA (summits on the air). I'm setting up my JT to get me to some of the mountain tops for this.

I'm surprised you did not remote mount the radio with just the head unit mounted to the panel? That is way to much over my head. I would be very afraid, in a rollover, that I would be hitting my head.
That looks like a Yaesu 857D? I see you have an LDG antenna tuner? Did you...
I ordered the Mopar tri-fold hard tonneau cover with my Gladiator. I opened the cover to discover 2 black plastic hoses that attach to the front corners of the cover and to the front of the bed of the truck. What are they for???
