DMR XPR-5550 in JEEP

Today, I completed my Phase 1 install of the XPR-5550 and the under the hood lip bracket and the antenna.  This page details a few pictures and a YouTube video (two part series) that entails this install process.

April 7th 2016 : Installed Motorola XPR 5550 Installed:

I decided to not go w/ the full blown overhead console construction;  after pricing that project, it came in steep for me and will probably do it some other day.  For now, I have gone w/ a simple functional install of the 5550 on the overhead bracket install.  This sits right above the rear-view mirror and the bracket is well secured on the front roll-bar.  Following are some of these pictures.
