How do you guys run your coax outside of the vehicle? Right now I have it going out my rear window. I would like to send it through the tailgate but the connector is HUGE! I would like to cut it off and put a new connector on the end but I dont have any experience with hooking up coax and I really dont want t o mess with my CB's reception or transmission. I could cut a bigger hole but it would be bigger than 1/2".
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Matt

Not exactly sure if my YJ is the same as your TJ but I run Mine inside the vehicle down th eassengers side. right after the rear floor pan where the rear passengers feet would be, the floor lifts up to where the seat is mounted. what I did is drilled a little hole through that verticle piece and put a rubber gromet in it and ran the wire through there. used plenty of chaulking to seal it up!

The outer connectors on the coax come apart. You have to unscrew the bigger outer ring and it slides down the coax, then you can unscrew the connector on the inside and then slide the outer ring off the coax, run it through and reinstall everything. Not hard to do.

Mine was a no ground plane, that big connector wasn't even on it. you use spade terminals, cause the antenna grounds through that!

MATT::::
do not change the lenth of the cable
it must be a X of 3 18 feet is the best
also if you take the connector appart
the fine metal mesh in the cover wrap is a ground
this must contact the connector and NOT touch the copper core wire
