I am looking for the JL rear antenna mount (the one that says jeep in it) and mounts to the swing bracket and not the rear tire carrier. Also what site can I get the actual antenna (no wires because it wont be used for a CB radio- just to hold the flag). Any suggestions or sites????

Thanks!!!! where can I get the universal antenna that flags go on? Seems like one site sells the bracket, another sells the antenna and flag sites only sell the flags. I was at Jeeptoberfest and should have bought the antenna and flags while I could but they didn't have brackets so I figured id be able to find a one stop shop but of course not! haha.
I've never had a need for a flag, but I doubt you would need to buy an actual CB or radio antenna as a flagpole. But the site that I linked to sells a whole CB setup for the JL and if you call them they may sell you an antenna mount and antenna and leave off the coax cable.

If I were you, I would bypass getting the $50 mount and mount the flagpole to the spare tire carrier with a $3 "L" bracket from Home Depot and get a flag whip and whatever flag you want to put on it. https://www.amazon.com/Raptor-Bansh...230228&sr=8-20&keywords=offroad+flag+and+whip

Are you required to have a flag at some of the places you are riding? You would need to check for the minimum height/visibilty requirements. Looks like there are a lot of options on Amazon for flags and whips.

Hope this helps.

No i dont need a flag for anything specific but you can buy the sleeve for the CB Antenna and then all flags just zip to that. So if i buy some other flag pole i don't know if the sleeve will fit it universally if that makes sense. I want to get the Firestik antenna because its so universal with most flags after i get the sleeve. I saw the whole kit for $90 but yea it came with the coax cable which i def do not need. Crazy that you can get the bracket for a JK for $10 but cheapest JL one is $45!
