Hi all, I am new to the forum and wanted to start by contributing where I can.
About 2 years ago I did an install project in my TJ with a Midland MXT400 GMRS and Icom IC-2730A ham radio. I'm planning a project now to move both of those radios into my Gladiator. I did a 5-part blog post series on this install as well (link below).
The project involves a couple of electronic components that are typically not part of most installs - that includes a power distribution block (power up to 6 devices), a master fuse, and a timer that will shut down the radios if they are accidentally left powered on for a set amount of time.
I am planning on installing both radios and the power distribution block behind the rear seat. Both antennas will be mounted on the front fenders.
If there is enough interest I am happy to detail the install in this thread and also shoot video to show the entire install process start to finish. I know there are many radio install threads on the forum already.
If you would find this info helpful or have an interest in it please drop a reply below!
This is the wiring diagram from the TJ system for reference, and the link to part 1 of the install write-up I did.
