And now I have the rear inside trim off and am fishing it through with a kit I got from Harbor Freight for a couple bucks (well worth it the price!). This kit has 1ft pieces of flexible fiberglass rod that you can put together to fish electrical line through passages. It comes with a hook and a small super flexible end piece but I just needed the hook to do this.

It's pretty easy to get a wrench in with the lift gate up and a socket & extension is also pretty easy to get on underneath to tight it down.

I decided a plumb bob would be perfect but I don't have one... I though I could make due with a fishing sinker centered over the bracket would work.

So this is what it looked like with the plastic retainer and the wire I bent and stuck under the taillight mounting bolt. What I wanted was a super clean appearance so how do I find locate the hold in the plastic trim just right?

This is the bracket, I see a lot of people install them over the taillight but I wanted a 4th antenna with a cleaner install and there's lot of room under the driver taillight

This is a pic about 2 months ago after the Grizzly's were installed... they orignally came on some 90's Wrangler if anyone is interested... and they have the same backspacing as the steel wheels.
