This is a very common issue in aircraft. The most obvious question is
does your jeep use 2 each 12 volt batteries? If so, simply connect
your radio across one of 'em.
If this can't be done for one reason or another, something along this
line is another solution:

I hope some one on the group can help me out here
I want to put a radio in a jeep
the problem is the jeep runs 24 v and as you know radios run 12v
Is there a device that will drop 24v down to 12 vdv ? I know I could use a
droping resistor but I can see it making a lot of heat
if I remember right the jeep uses 2 12 v batts can I just tape off
one set for
the radio ?
I know this is not about repeaters , but just thought some one might have
an idea ..
Thanks
