Funny story...
So my wife gets home from work, pulling in the driveway behind my Bronco. She walks in the door and comes into the living room where she cheerfully says hello to me and my son sitting on the couch. My son says to me, "She didn't notice."
I should probably explain a little...
That looks like a good solution. I've never had a jeep nor installed a two way radio before. I wasn't sure what would work or wouldn't so I tried to come up with something on my own. I will most likely switch to this antenna mount option. Thanks for posting!
Here is how I mounted my radio...
It works well; however, I did snap an antenna after driving aggressively on a bumpy dirt road. Too much flex in the bracket whipped the antenna to the point it failed at the plastic base. The bracket needed some stiffening or more padding between it and the tire/tail gate to stabilize it.

When I ordered mine in January, my dealer required a 10% deposit. I also signed a sales contract which the dealer signed also. I caught a lot of flack on the forums. People telling me I'm being taken advantage of. Ends up, whe I took delivery, I paid the signed contract price. No ADM, no...
Yes, I finished the install. Funny you should ask about the flex. I went offroading on some dirt roads. They were a little bumpy but nothing requiring 4wd. I was moving pretty good on the roads, opening it up and bouncing around. When I returned home, I noticed my antenna snapped about 2 inches...
