It lives in a dirty environment so its not perfect, but its not made with scrap wood either, just scrap metal lol.
Console (Troy I believe)
900MHz Ham stuff, Currently a GTX since the Spectra is having audio troubles.
Scanner BC785D
Low Band 42ish to 54ish Ham/Commercial High Power
Switches and Horn
UHF Astro Spectra Mid power

VHF Astro Spectra on the dash W9 High Power.

All antennas are NMO (yes I drill holes, you should too!) with exception of the big military whip (30-80MHz)

Yah I meant XTS3000 (and its a model II), I dont even own any MTX.
There is no air bag in that side, nor is there an airbag module, The jeep had severe electrical problems when I got it and it seems to have been taken out along with the melted wires going to it.
So I ditched the airbag so I could put stuff behind it.

That XJ is schweet. 9" rear, 44 front (from the pics?), about 5.5" with some big/small 35/36's...is that a Hanson bumper?

I've got a TJ, chopped and hacked on 35's for trail and 33's on street. I really want a 2dr XJ though. Just like yours, maybe 2" lower.

Nice rig dude.

The VHF is within an arms reach, I dont channel hop too much anyway.
Ch on the XTS is supposed to be USCG OOD net, its p25 I have it programmed as mixed and it picked up noise in that particular spot.

Busy light usually indicates channel activity (on the W4 spectra) Its RX only anyway

Toyota 8", 44 front, 6"+ 36" TSL natex4x4.com bumpers

Thanks for the positive feedback

Interesting XJ. I need to upload my install pics in my XJ. I have my ICV8000 on the headliner above the RVM, and my Maxtrac on the side of the factory console.

I like your console. Did you have to hack out the old factory one, or is that a drop-in?
