Recently purchased a Wrangler JKU and have never came across a radio install speed bump such as these things. I wanted something nice and clean for my install and the few radios I did have laying around were just too big. I also wanted something I could get to without having to hide it in the center console..so after some trading around I landed on a Maratrac..for the remote head mainly.
Then came the antenna mounting aspect of it...again I am very particular and wanted this antenna to be mounted to the top of the third brake light (I only use a 1/4 wave) to make it clean and less noticeable.
Here are my photos of what I have:
The speaker pic is blurry but its mounted up under the steering column behind the dash, and the base unit is mounted in the very back up against the inner wheel well.
For the Antenna I picked up a piece of metal strap from Lowes that I bent into a 90 degree and mounted it directly to the body of the tailgate for a good ground, then secure the rest of the strap to the back side of the 3rd brake light housing.
