    Be careful running the wires under the door seal/weather stripping. It'll leak like mine did.

    Yeah, I wanna take my grinding bits, and make a big enough notch for the wires to pass through, AND so that the weatherstripping goes BACK in flush. I'm working on it...

    Easier solution = just caulk around the gap that is made from the wires underneath the weather stripping. It solved my issues. But whatever makes it look the best. I don't care sometimes on my jeep, especially when it is just the way something looks that no one will ever see. Function before form.

    Exclamation It lives! It lives!

    First off, a little mood music - maestro, if you please!




    Since one of my cigarette lighters (a.k.a. "power ports") is burned out, I decided to HARDWIRE my radios, BUT... I didn't want to go running any MORE wire around the door frame, SOOOO... I decided to hotwire BOTH scanner and CB into the fuse panel. A couple of ATM Bussman fuse blocks later...



    Cue, the electric spaghetti!!!









    And here's what it looks like from the rear, now!




    More to follow!
