here's how I mounted my whip

 

I figured while I was out taking pictures of my Jeep in the snow I would take a pic of the antenna mount. This picture was taken during "blizzard" conditions.

And I see the rust.... I need to take it off an paint it, but one of the bolts where it mounts to the body is a PITA to get to.

 

I just screwed mine to the quarter panel

 

Mine is a three foot cobra antennae that has a mirror mount which is bolted to the stock roof rack, you need longer bolts than what comes with it but fits perfectly

 

I have a magnetic one I throw up on the roof when I need to.

 

Magnetic mount on the roof, fixin' to hard mount just fwd of the DS tailight.

 

Good looking XJ where did you get your front bumper. I'm looking for one like that.

 

Thats where i would put it. but my CB 4' antenna is on my tire carrier

 

Im not sure what to say that i used other that scrap metal a drill and screws in the quarter panel... Best pic i have sorry.

 

cut up a peice of angle alluminum and came up with this

 

Thats what i had in my head of fabbing up, Just needed a pic

Are those self tapping screws?

Thanks

 

yea they are self tapping but they keep backing out just enough to give the mount a little wobble. im just gunna put some small bolts with nuts on the back

 

I have not looked but i guess since you are putting nuts on the back, then it is accessible, right?

 

heres mine.

 

yea it is accessable if you take the tail light housing off theirs two big holes you can stick your hand through. i also ran the wire through one of those big holes
