Do you still have the original spare tire carrier?
dill a hole for the antenna on the drivers side of the third brake light.
I am going to guess that those mounts will rust, but what doesn't on a jeep.

I made one the other weekend for my CJ using the stock tire carrier bumpstop but I guess I wouldn't make sense to put extra holes in your tub. This worked out for me since I was already using it. Kent Weld in a little plate  Drill a hole and paint it.... DONE!  |

john, do you have any pictures of your idea? I made a bracket that attaches to the spare tire mount but it is getting worn out and it might be time to change the set up...vince

no I do not have any pics, should slide right down inbetween the tire and the tailgate. Might need to use nuts to space the tire out about a 1/4 inch. also put it on the drivers side, so yo ucan still open the lift gate on hard tops.

good thinking on the nuts to space out the tire, with the 31" spare i couldn't fit the spring for the antenna in there but i'll give that a shot. Time to run to the hardware store instead of doin homework, haha. thanks...vince

Using the writeup at the link below as a guideline I made something that's just about the same. I've run the wire through the back window though. www.4x4xplor.com/antennamount.html |

I did what jps4jeep said and drilled a hole in the stock spare holder, i drilled on the passenger side. I ran the ant. wire in through the window and under the lip up to the dash. I also put a power switch inline for the CB so i can set the volume/on/off nob in one spot and use the new switch instead. I used high heat velcro and mounted the CB on the dash half covering the crap tray . ill post some pic's eventually
