Can't find a mounting bracket for UHF antenna

[ynygma]

Hello all,

I will soon be installing the Midland MXT275 GMRS radio inside my JLUR. I have everything I need bu the only mount I could find to mount the UHF/NMO antenna is "on backorder for a month wait":

Instead, I'm looking at this option, but not sure if this would work as well.

We have a Jeep trail trip coming up in a few short weeks and I wanted to get everything installed and tested ASAP

Any suggestions or advice, please?

What antenna are you going to use? The mount from topsyproducts should work just as well as the one from 4wd. I would suggest an antenna that will extend above the hood such as this one from Amazon. Amazon.com: Midland 6 dB Gain Antenna with Durable Spring Base and NMO Connection - Works with Midland MicroMobile MXT105, MXT115, MXT275, MXT400: Home Audio & Theater

I just the topsy bracket, the Midland antenna, and this NMO cable: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B07CSP45D2?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title

I'm installing both a GMRS and a ham radio so I have two sets of the bracket and cable. One for each side of the hood. I'll be running a Kenwood TM-V71 radio for the ham.

I'm waiting on a couple other bits but will probably set up the antennas this weekend.

We have GMRS (NMO) front mount kits available and ship the same day. Also, we have some packages with the Midland antenna and coax (NMO) that can save you some money. Our front-mount antenna bracket can mount in one of two (cowl) locations on either side of the Jeep - for a total of 4 possible mount locations for you to choose from.

For additional information on the front-mount bracket click HERE.

Do you make any mounts that will mount on the spare tire carrier? Want to get my antenna up high if possible.
