Bronco at one time with a Larsen2/70 and a K40 CB antenna. The terrain would
get rough enough for the antennas to swing around and hit the roof. The roof on
the Bronco had two cross members and each antenna was mounted in the center of them.
So maybe be concerned about the spare tire mount is over rated. ;)<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>From previous experience of antenna on
moving parts, (e.g., trunk lids, hoods) I would recommend not mounting on the
spare tire carrier. I used to use the lip mounts for antennas and found my wife
and other family members opening and closing the trunk quickly. Of course you
are mounting on a vehicle you may take into the boonies so a study mount and
antenna will se more stress from the road than opening and closely the carrier.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span style='font-size:
10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>One thought I had is to mount on the roll
cage and put a hole in the fiberglass. A rubber boot like a CV joint boot could
be used as the pass through. I have never picked up a Jeep to test the theory.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

close work and carry a 5/8 or whatever when stopped. A couple of guys in my
area have a Land Rover and they have a rack inside for carrying their antennas.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

I had recently acquired a Jeep and exploring installing my Kenwood d710g in
it. Mstly for APRS and voice repeaters on 2m/70cm<br>
<br>
Wanted to see if folks here have any jeep install pictures you might be able to
share for ideas.<br>
<br>
The bracket I'm zoning in on is at extremeterrain website <br>
http://www.extremeterrain.com/rugged-ridge-cb-antenna-jk-1150389.html<br>
<br>
While this is meant for CB, I think it can be made to work for 259s<br>
<br>
Thanks<br>
