CB Antenna Mount for Jeep Wrangler Unlimited 2007-2018 Rubicon Liberty Sahara JK 2/4 Door with Car Spare Tire Compatibility Review

I almost never give 1 star or bad reviews but this product deserves it. It's a solid piece of metal but it just doesn't fit as shown in the photo. You have to do one of three things to use this. 1. Grind the ribs on the spare tire bracket so it sits straight. 2. Get longer metric screws and lots of washers to move it away from the bracket. 3. Buy another bracket. I will not be returning it, I will go with option 3 and buy another mount from a reputable antenna manufacturer.

This is a solid piece of metal. Pretty easy to install, but there are two problems. 1) The antenna bolt hole is larger than 3/8 of the pole, so when installing, be careful not to ground the center terminal. 2) it's tilted 5-10 degrees to the right, which looks weird as hell. decent deal, so I was able to gouge out the mounting holes a bit to adjust them a bit so the antenna is pointing straight up. And I have the knowledge how to insulate a larger than usual antenna mounting hole. If I didn't…

And because of the outer edge of the busbar holder JK/U, it doesn't just snap into place. I ended up using a stainless steel washer on the bottom with Firestik fire flex cable to complete the bottom. Be sure to remove the powder coating from the bottom of the mounting hole. I also drilled a hole in the bracket and

This is one of the few times I don't give a good review. Once this bracket is in place, the spare tire actually pushes into the antenna and flexes it severely. I actually had to buy spacers to move the hoop away from the antenna. Other people have actually reshaped the bracket or cut out the tire holder to move the bracket further towards the tailgate. It's a bad design and I don't feel like the engineers installed it and then put the tire back on. As we all know, the antenna cannot touch other
