Not really. If you offroad a lot I'd add a CB which is the most commonly used radio by offroaders.I am an amateur extra and I have HF/VHF/UHF radios in the Jeep. No CB though. I was just wondering if there are standard frequencies or channels used on heavily travelled routes where there has been no pre-arrangement between drivers.

Not all are cheaply made. I've had 100% good results from my Uniden Pro20XL with over 20 years of use.I bought a CB radio but it was such a cheap POS that I couldn’t bring myself to install it next to a pair of beautiful Yaesus. I guess I will have to relent.

I'd go with 14 gauge red/black. Instead of connecting to the battery + post, connect it to the 12v input lug at the rear of the power distribution center. The lug is located under a small plastic protective cover. That lug is connected directly to the battery and is a lot easier to connect to with a small crimp ring connector. An inline fuse close to the lug is a good idea.
This is how I did mine...

A 5 amp fuse would be good, any inline fuse would be fine.Thanks Jerry. What kind of inline fuse should I be buying? There were so many choices at the store. Didn’t know what I’m supposed to buy. Neither did the guy working there smh. I wired up my amp but the kit had everything I needed to do the job.
