<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.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

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>

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.<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>
