Might be faster to send him a PM. They've been crazy busy with events for the last few weeks.

He pulls stuff out of stock when he is not home for a while. He will be on the road for the better part of three weeks so that’s probably why they are out. I would be willing to bet he has some though.

happy customer
It's taken me AGES to get things done since I got my wayalife overhead bar a year ago (life gets in the way sometimes), but I just wanted to show off the "dual rig" of my 50W Kenwood ham radio and my 50W Midland GMRS in my JL. Very happy customer! :clap2: (Also: The wide angle lens on the new iPhone 11s are great!)

Looks really nice but what I am trying to understand is what’s happening with the wheel in the garage[emoji848][emoji848]

ok, yeah... I have a bad back :grayno:. I just had yet another spinal procedure on Wednesday
Generally speaking, we drive around without our spare, except when we go wheeling. This contraption is normally used to lift my hardtop, but it also conveniently hoists the spare without putting my back at risk.

CBBAR arrived, took less than 1hr to install, as advertised, straight forward install with no drilling (etc.) needed.
With that said, since I run with a Cobra 29 and a Midland XMT115 I drilled a couple holes for the later, and BOOM!
I'm a happy wheeler!

I rotated my CB/GMRS, basically drilled a couple extra holes into each of the two device mounts. The radios face me now. Inching my way to being prepared for my June Moab>Rubicon trip. [emoji4]
Now I just need to hard wire the Garmin Overlander and Garmin DashCam.
Happy New Year!

Padding for CB Bar
Installed the CB Bar and looks great. I have noticed however that because it reduces the headroom, there could be some head bumps as my wife hops in and out, or more importantly during an accident of even just off-road jostling. Has anyone used some universal padding for driver and passenger side of the bar? Just for some head protection and general aesthetics?

As you can see, the CB BAR sits at the same level as your sun visor and only 3.5" away from it.
While I'm sure anything is possible, I would think you'd be just as likely to hit your head on the sun visor when hopping into your Jeep the way you do. That being said, I suppose you would wrap it with some pipe insulation. I hope you find a solution that you're happy with.

I’d throw a maxi pad on the corner and call it a day.

Thanks for the reply. I started looking for a solution especially after my buddy at about 6’ 2” was sitting in the passenger seat And I could see his forehead lined up with the bar. So I ended up using a black pool noodle type of solution, cut it to size and it came out nice. May end up sewing a cordura fabric cover at some point.

Here’s a shot that shows the bar covered.
