  1. Mopar tailgate reinforcement and CB antenna mount

    It is just a red racquetball that I drilled with a 3/8” Forstner bit. https://www.dickssportinggoods.com/p/penn-ballistic-2-0-red-racquetballs-16penabllstcrdrcqrcq/16penabllstcrdrcqrcq
  2. Mopar tailgate reinforcement and CB antenna mount

    Maybe it is because I have a 3’ Firestick and possibly a stiffer spring. I know Firestick makes a “Medium Duty” and a “Heavy Duty” spring and they recommend that every antenna should have a spring. I actually got mine from a local CB shop, so I don’t know the brand, but it has a copper wire...
  3. Mopar tailgate reinforcement and CB antenna mount

    I have a Cobra 75 WX ST and it works fine for trail riding but, honestly, I use GMRS mostly now because that is what the group I normally ride with prefer. I’m glad I have both options, though.
  4. Mopar tailgate reinforcement and CB antenna mount

    I didn’t have any issue with the 1.5 inch bolt being long enough. For me, a 2 inch bolt was too long.
  5. Mopar tailgate reinforcement and CB antenna mount

    I am. The spring protects the antenna from snapping when it gets caught on a low branch and it really doesn’t whip around during normal driving.
  6. Rubicon Steel Bumper Replacement Parts

    That’s the part number for the Hardrock or Recon steel bumper. The numbers for the JL steel bumper are: 68295559AA Fog Lamp Bezel, Left 68295558AA Fog Lamp Bezel, Right and they are much more affordable.
  7. Antenna mount using Mopar Reinforcement bracket

    https://www.jlwranglerforums.com/forum/threads/mopar-tailgate-reinforcement-and-cb-antenna-mount.18719/#post-458815 Read this thread and then let me know if you have any more questions. This worked for me. I believe the mounting hole is that thick for strength because it is cast aluminum to...
  8. Mopar tailgate reinforcement and CB antenna mount

    I initially thought a grounding strap may be required, but once I completed the installation as described above, the SWR was cool, so I didn’t see the need.
  9. Mopar tailgate reinforcement and CB antenna mount

    It is just under 91” from ground to tip of the antenna with 35” KM3 tires and no lift. The antenna is above the roof line about 16”. My garage opening is almost 95” tall. If your garage is not tall enough, the quick disconnect will allow you to easily remove the antenna prior to pulling in...

    3 foot Firestik II antenna and that is a quick disconnect, by Firestik as well.

    Try this for the cable: https://www.rightchannelradios.com/products/firestik-firering-cb-coax-with-fme The “FME” end will make it easier to feed through the tailgate and route through the Jeep. Here is the stud...
  12. Mopar tailgate reinforcement and CB antenna mount

    You need the FireStik FireRing cable and FireRing stud: http://www.firestik.com/CatalogFrame.htm You will have to replace the bolt that comes with the stud with a stainless steel 3/8-24 1.5 inch bolt (I got mine from Lowe’s). I had to drill out the hole in my bracket with a 1/2 inch bit...
