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. ;)</span></font></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="2" color="navy" face="Arial"><span style="font-size: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.</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.</span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="2" color="navy" face="Arial"><span style="font-size:10.0pt; font-family:Arial; color:navy"> </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 other thought, use a ¼ wave for the in 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.</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>
