I would definately like more info on that mount as well.

Not sure on the price, but if you go to kilby.com or call them up and request the kj antenna mount you should be fine. (last I heard it wasn't on their web site but they do have it)

Been over a year and still a great, easy, handy mount.

How did you route your ant cable?

Thanks,

Has anyone tried running a roof/magnet mount antenna, and routing the cable inside through the 3rd brake light? Do you think the 3rd brake light would develop a leak if I ran the coax through there to get inside the Jeep??

I've run a magnetic roof-mount and routed the cable through the front door. It was surprisingly easy to do with the weather stripping, didn't cause any problems.

Gringo: can you give me more details on that mount that you're using? What does it attach to? Where did you get it? etc. I'm assuming thats a 3' firestik?

Yes, I had to drill pilot holes. I used stainless screws with clear silicone caulk to weatherproof.
