With one of the factory options being a fold down UHF Aerial Mount on the Roof Rack just wondering if anyone has this fitted and where they bring the Antenna cable through the roof ????? (Grenadier - no auxiliary power outlets on roof)

Having no roof rack, I clamped a fold-down UHF Antenna mount to the top rung of the ladder and then ran the cable down the left side of the ladder and under the bottom of the 30% rear door. No holes were required.

That is very different to the usual UHF mount. It looks neat. I cannot find it on the ARB website, so far - but that is not uncommon with ARB. I tried both UHF and CB bracket.

Hi everyone, here's a video from John Canny about installing a UHF without cutting any holes in your precious IG 😉 View: https://youtu.be/Ads375d1F3s

I have installed (more of a ‘placement‘ really) a Midland MXT275 GMRS (UHF) 15 watt Radio in the center cubby, where it is plugged in to the car’s cigarette lighter style power point. The very thin antenna cable is tucked up along the right side of the enter console, under the dash, past the...

...concave insert behind it. Under the insert there may be holes already in the structure. If so you could drill the composite and feed your UHF cable through a grommet ....then run the cable down the B pillar.... Essentially that's all there is to the vehicles fitted with external power outlets....

For those installing for VHF / UHF, what style coax did you choose?

Some suggestions from the accessories thread here: UHF/CB Aerial mounting brackets Mounting options for UHF aerials in Australia: GME here; RFI here; KAON here; GMF4X4 here (mostly bonnet brackets); Uniden here; Oricom here; Pirate Camp Co here; Industrial Evolution mounts here; INEOS DIY...

GME has decided to make a UHF (CB) radio for the Mansory. ;) You can even get a matching aerial.

Check out the Owl Accessories Rack https://owloutdoor.com/collections/interior/products/grenadier-accessory-mounting-rail Makes moving and adjusting easy based on need, without drilling.

Got round to installing my phone mount and charger today, alongside my UHF installation from earlier. My goal was to keep as much wiring as possible hidden, and have each piece of equipment in its own place (minimising the blocking of vents and buttons, dangling cords, etc). This was my...

Good question - TBH IDK. I’m not sure which frequency those speed demons use. Whether dedicated UHF or regular VHF CB channels 17 & 19 radio - dunno. But definitely worth finding out if things go awry. There are 3 or 4 Alyeska Oil Pipeline pump stations along the highway that are manned 24/7 in...

Noice!! "looks the goods" for serious visitation to far flung places! Are the antennas on the bull bar both for UHF CB or is the one on the driver's side for mobile phone? If they're both for the UHF radio , how do you switch between?

Can you tell me how you feed the wiring through the rear power socket I am looking to do something similar?

Mine measured 50.17mm and the difference mattered. I ended up with a universal fit after I found the GME 50mm bracket would result in some paint work damage to force it to fit.

That antenna is really low and blocked by the vehicle body but I like the overall install. Really neat. It is a nice use of the rail but for UHF it needs to be up away from the car body. It will be good for convoy and short distances. Not sure of your use requirement. Please believe I am not...

I have 2 UHF units, so one antenna for each. As I often travel alone I have two for safety reasons. That way I can have one on scan and the other on a specific channel (mostly 40). I installed the second after a near miss from a long wide load, where the pilots did a poor job of warning...

Very nice install! Has anyone seen a successful install of a UHF/VHF radio head unit on the roof switch panel? Owl Outdoors has posted some videos of their IG and it looks like they might have done something similar in the background but not official posts on it.

...brake controller kit from Magic and got the Schultz's to fit it along with an Anderson plug to the rear. More details in this post Towing Preparation. I did my own UHF install following John Canny's excellent youtube videos. Its not too hard. Details in this link UHF Radio Install Cheers Steve

Any issues running the cable through the roof socket? I assume you punched a hole through the gromet and ran the cable in from the outside and did you have to remove much internal trim to fish out the cable? I need to do the same to hard wire a solar panel soon and wondering how difficult it...

i've added the .obj file to the UHF post if anyone wants to print a UHF mic bracket

Both UHF units now fully installed after the power circuit mishap. The XRS990 also have a hands free module attached to it, with a steering wheel on/off button. The GME hands free module can also be linked to the car’s stereo, headphones, etc. I have not tried to link to the car’s stereo yet. I...

...tomorrow; and no issues with them being "smashed" the seals have TONS of give to them. The driver's side has the Starlink cable and a RG58 (if memory serves me) for the UHF/VHF antenna; and the passenger's side has the WeBoost antenna as well as 3 16AWG, 1 18AWG, and 1 14AWG wires (roof lights)

For some ideas look at threads here and here (UHF radios). If you are looking for aerial brackets look here. More threads if you search on UHF (what CB radios are called in Australia now).

Yes, fair call. Will be for close proximity/convoy etc, so hopefully not an issue.

Installed an organiser on the cargo barrier to store bits and pieces like torches, suncreeen, handheld UHF etc. EDIT: installed a second one on the other side of the car.

...have STEDI Lights and aux tank. The Rhino Rack for the QM has also been added. So it looks like it is announced or about to be. Surprising no UHF has been added, as yet. The known players so far: Norweld tray and canopy (the Elite Tray, and the canopy is the Deluxe Lite); JMACX Alpha 2.5...

A rear mounted UHF aerial and work light are proving to be a lot of work. But, the reception on the UHF will be much better than any bull bar mounted aerial. The wiring is through to the door but not into the cabin yet - that's the next job. Oh, and removing the trim piece to route the wires...

Rear work light and UHF antenna mounted to the rear. Running the cables into the vehicle will be a bit of a challenge with some hole drilling required.

Hi All, I’m currently installing a UHF into our IG. The unit is installed behind the dash in the passenger (LH) foot well & the aerial is on the LH side of our bull bar. Because we have safari windows, we unfortunately don’t have the spare grommet available to pass through the fire wall as many...

How about a 'real' accessory position with the key!! ( like the user manual shows) yet NOT delivered. For eg, using the entertainment system or UHF radio etc.

I installed my UHF this weekend. I put the antenna on the roo bar as it was the easiest option and will suffice for my needs.

That is an excellent idea! I wasn't too keen on having the RJ45 socket visible. It gives the game away that you have a UHF radio and probably have it stored somewhere inside. I'll be following your example and putting the RJ45 socket in exactly the same place and I'll replace the...

Agreed. The door bottom lights and the cargo lights are essentially the same connections and probably even size.

The Canny route?

This is my solution - but it's a lot of work to route the cables through the door and into the cabin. The upside is that my UHF reception is better than most bull bar mounted aerials with the longer mast fitted. The shorter mast makes it easier to get into the garage.

...easy for the missus to charge her phone and the small shelf in front of the gear lever seems a natural location to drop it in. Already have the UHF on the passenger side taking up some real estate :) Shame Simon at Powerful U.K. doesn't take on the I.G... has similar for many L.R. vehicles...

In my case I wanted to run a UHF aerial cable from the driver' side bracket to the passenger side and then back down to the firewall. I found another route.

UHF Mount Another small milestone today with the installation of the UHF body under the glovebox. No drilling required as there is a handy steel plate built in that holds a small footprint, remote head unit perfectly. Next job is to find the best position for the aerial and connect that.

Yes Jean ( same make use of empty panels) was intending to place my UHF microphone mount there with a round rj45 socket mounted next to volume control. Looks like it's not as they say easy to work on. Like mounting the UHF antenna through flat fender panel (20mm hole) then cable through...

This is a short description of my install of my UHF radio under my steering wheel with the antenna (temporarily) attached to the grab rails. I'm still waiting for my roof rack. My vehicle is RHD with aux power. I used the grommet for my power outlets, under the grab bars. Removed the grab bar...

Great solution. That’s what I did on my ‘96 Discovery.

...price, and ease of install on the Stedi ST4K products. Light reflection off the Bonet is negligible, and being forward of the safari windows 100% nill. I do have plans to mount a UHF antenna to the Roo bar next, which may catch some light and reflect it back. Will have to try it out and see.

A great read @ninetubes. Thanks for posting. I’m starting to compile a similar post for “Henry” but my electrical skills are limited to uhf installs and crimping up adaptors. Cheers Steve

Bro I am loving that antenna mount. The rear light is even better! Did you fab that up or is that an aftermarket thing you bought somewhere?

Ah, I see. The diamond-shaped RAM mount has a fastener hole centre that matches the Grenadiers faux-modular trim. Those rectangular things you see there are magnetic mounts for a UHF radio handpiece and/or handheld.

This rear mounted UHF aerial might give you some ideas. On my old Nissan Patrol I had a small LED light fitted low near the towbar. You could do the same with the INEOS and turn the light on when the car is in reverse (by wiring into the reverse circuit). I used a weather sealed Lightforce LED.

there are spare wires inside the kick panel either side and can be on permantly or with ignitoin .I have just wired my uhf to the passenger side wires putting the unit under the glove box . See canny outdoors you tube video on fitting uhf radio ,very helpful

...link you could include in your next iteration, on how to remove the trim on the (RHD) passenger side. I used it for relocating pass through for UHF and another USB outlet from the power in passenger footwell. Very handy. View: https://youtu.be/H7XzKCFyIo0?si=68M1hGt_IfPgLgLu Thanks again Pedro

The XRS-BT1 is now available to buy, giving you hand free functionality on your GME XRS UHF radio. I found Repco to be the cheapest price.

...of the centre tray (between the two front seats), next to the USB charging points. I also removed the 12V Cigarette-lighter socket in favour of an additional USB Charging (to the left of the UHF Socket in the attached photo). This way, the UHF socket is completely out of the way when not in use.

I have seen this and do like the extra coverage roof mounting offer. But I also run a fair bit of stuff on the roof and don't want to make it too hard getting the aerial folded up and down. I also don't mind having the aerial on the front left of the bar to use as a reference in tight spots.

Hey MattG. If you go to the website of OWL OUTDOOR, under the section videos. Go to "Install videos" and choose "Accessory Rail" It explains how to remove the black shiny thing. Greetings Luc

FWIW: Depending where through the fender panel you wish to drill, closer to the front there's space for said hole, well clear of the high density foam..see photo

I installed two UHF aerials and routed the aerial cables into the passenger’s footwell (thanks to the Canny Outdoors video). TWO RFI UHF AERIALS (RHD vehicle) One aerial was on the driver’s side, the other on the passenger’s side. I routed the driver’s side cable (inside 7mm split tubing)...

Check this out. Your solution is around 1:30. John Canny UHF installation

Pretty much everywhere across the US/CAN they'll be using CB (27Mhz), logging roads in Western CAN use a spectrum of VHF. In July when we drove the Dalton, we passed (or got passed) by 0 Northbound trucks on the way up (a handful of bikes and there vehicles), and on the southbound leg followed...

Made a new thread so it wasn't buried in a roof rack thread... Under dash UHF radio install

I bought a GME Uhf unit in the long weekend sale. Then I investigated the antenna cable routing. As I have the sunroof the only firewall option is the big big cable grommet, which I have slit pending the install tomorrow when I pick the unit up. Meanwhile the sun was setting 😊

Thought I'd post my UHF installation. Not as detailed as some other forum members, but hopefully clear enough to see the approach. Not having a bullbar yet (don't like the IG offering), I decided to mount the Antenna on the Passenger side rear utility rail. I also wanted concealed wiring and no...

Experimenting with cockpit setup before drilling any holes… pleased with the UHF install so far, still trying to find a satisfactory home for the backup handheld/cradle.

Down through the firewall yes, but I have two UHF aerials, one from the driver's side, the other passenger side. So I feed the driver's side across the front grill and then put the two cables together into split tubing and routed them through the firewall (per Canny video). I just run the cable...

Well, that was a lot of work to just get this one piece of plastic out of the way to get to the bottom two hidden screws.

...installed in the LF Fascia as well. A picture of the gauge, not the boring dimmer switch. The LF Fascia can be used for other purposes, like a UHF pass through, compressor switch, etc. I thought it best to have a fascia for future needs and not mess up the INEOS any more and I have a neat...

...the same problem, so I went to Clark Rubber and got some 20mm or 25mm square rubber and wedged it in the rear bottom edge and sides of the solar panel and the wind noise disappeared. I ran the solar cable next to the raised air intake and through a firewall grommet along with the UHF coax cable.

Makes perfect sense - be interesting to see the Grenadier kitted out with UHF!

I fitted the Brodit/Proclip on the car today. The holes to do not line with the Grenadier centre console (I was mounting UHF/CB handsets x 2). I had to make the holes a little bigger on the top side of the top hole and on the bottom side of the bottom hole. That gave enough movement to line the...

@Telliottaus managed to get a UHF aerial cable up there, so a charging circuit should be possible the same way. https://www.theineosforum.com/threads/under-dash-uhf-radio-install.12412654/

Any ideas how to remove this piece under the plastic floor trim. Removal of bolts yields little movement or release in any obvious way. I want to run some wiring inside through to the rear (UHF Antenna cable). Maybe I'm missing something, maybe there's a better way? Any help is appreciated. Cam

Could you also post, on one of the radio sections here, details of mounting the UHF antenna and routing its coaxial cable? Thanks in Advance, Bill

CB at least here in Australia usually means/meant 27Mhz which is essentially dead. Now replaced by UHF. Basically All trucks here have UHF radios and most 4wds that are used as 4wds rather than just SUVs have UHF. Used by clubs and groups for vehicle to vehicle communication, used commonly off...

Not particularly exciting but I had my UHF, lightbar and an andersen plug to the back installed yesterday. One thing I do rate is a new bullbar antenna attachment that ARB have brought out though. Very cool. You can attach it anywhere along the bullbar tube - just drill through the tube and a...

Well done that man. My UHF and I thank you!

Thanks @pedrogb, I’m pleased that you have found my efforts useful. I’ve just watched the YouTube vid and will add a link to it in the next edition. Safe travels and I look forward to seeing a post of your travels. I’m an old Qld boy and Cape York is on the bucket list. Cheers Steve

Do you mind showing how you ran the antenna cable into the upper corner trim into the interior? Did you run it between the body panels I’ve marked up in the pic? Were there many obstructions when snaking across the roof lining.

late to the party but i run a vhf mobile radio(our 4wd club has a "license" for all members to use these frequencies) and i also have a uhf set which is identical to the uhf "cb" radio setup in australia. Most 4wds in NZ will also run the "cb" uhf radios,most will have handhelds but many will...

Don't forget the dashcam. 😉

I fitted (temporarily pending my sparky fitting this, a rear anderson plug, and my UHF next week) a Narva EX2 20” double lightbar. Thought I’d share in case anyone was considering it and wondered if it fits. I purchased bullbar mounting brackets to fix it to the bullbar top tube rather than the...

Was it easy to route the uhf cable? Also, where did you mount the transceiver? Thanks Telliottaus, i was thinking the same thing, routing the antennae up near the grab bars. It would be great if someone made a bracket that could connect to the grab bar for the Antennae mount
