I simply used a standard clamp and went off my roofrack. I had to ground it, but it looks like it would work off of the factory rack as well, so long as you run a ground lead, although I want to end up going off the tire holder eventually as well. Nice job! (Pics of my install)

Hey, what kind of brackets would I need for this install and how would I do it? Could you give me some tips? I like the mount where it is on the middle of the spare tire. |

Yeah, how's that going to work anyway? Any way to keep that on while removing the spare? Otherwise that will be a nightmare. KJ2005, I though about mounting my CB on my seat like that but it didn't like it too much when I moved the seat forward or back. Any issues with that? |

First I don't know why in the heck I would be on a trail, I don't have a 4x4 Jeep unfortunately  anyways. It would be perfect for me because honestly how hard is it to unscrew a cable and pop off an antenna? I mean I drive the highway a lot so I was thinking for this reason so I could talk to the truckers to find out if there's any bears out there.

The brackets block the wheel from coming off with his design. Not the antenna. |

Well thats why really that bracket is the wrong one. It needs to be smaller right there or a different bend. But the mount is a good idea because with a smaller bracket or different bend you should be able to pop off the spare with no problems. |

Yeah, but since we were discussing his, I thought I'd ask what he planned on doing to get around that little problem. |

Make sure to make that bracket smaller.

i don't use it any longer because I have a RL Liscence plate bracket there! |

I never really liked the license plate idea there, but ah to each his own. |
