If you haven't already bought the brackets, you can use the small "L" brackets that can be purchased at about any home improvement place, and even Wally World. As for the antenna, the antenna can be cleaned right off of there, ask me how I know. I would suggest a roof top mount with a spring. Mag mounts work just fine, and will tend to pop off before they damage the antenna too much, if they come in contact with a limb, or something. The mount, like the one you posted, are kinda pricey, IIRC. They are good for an XJ that isn't going to see tight trails, but you live in CO, so good luck with that one!!

A little rundown of my light set up.
hole drilled above passenger side b-pillar

was going to go down all the way through b-pillar but hit bloackage from the seat belt mount so went across the roof and over to the a-pillar.
rd line shows the route. obviously

went down and underneath the glove box
this is to the right if the glove box

a different view

Switch wires out of the center console, getting some velcro strips to place them right behind the cup holders

Wires feeding from dash through he firewall to the relays, then along to the battery
