Just a bit more progress on some things today as the Amazon guy brings little bits and pieces each day. I added a surface mountable RJ45 pass through just below the CB connection on the passenger's side of the center stack.
This will allow both the CB and 2M mics to live on a mounting bracket attached to the grab handle. No wires hanging down anywhere like in the Sequoia. They were never really a problem in the Sequoia, but this is more aesthetically pleasing.
Mic mounts and the patch cable to run between the RJ45 pass through and the radio show up tomorrow.
While I was in the center stack I tapped into the factory 12v outlet to power a 12V to 5V dual USB adapter. I'm not a fan of splicing into factory wiring, but in this case all I'm doing essentially is hard wiring in the equivalent of a 2 port USB charger. Not a fan of wires running everywhere so this does away with the plug in style charger and usb cables. I routed one of the cables out of the little storage compartment in the middle of the dash. The other will live in the storage compartment on top of the dash and power the tablet I'll mount there like my previous JK.
Also started playing around with some interior lighting. The cabin of the JK is black on black on black and it's easy to drop and loose things when it's dark. In the interest of preserving some night vision I'm using some red led strips trigged off of one of the OEM switches I modified earlier.
I'll mess with the placement and number of strips before I button up the wiring, loom it and zip tie it to the top of the molle panel. While I was up there I also installed a sunscreen over the front of the JK. Driving with the rear window rolled up and the sunrider portion of the top open is my favorite configuration, but the sun can be a bit harsh with this setup, especially at low speeds with no airflow. This should provide just enough shade and UV protection to prevent me from having to wear a hat constantly.
