We provide a lot of flexibility with our front-mount GMRS/HAM/CB antenna mount. You can choose to mount it more forward - or closer to the a-pillar and on either side of the Jeep for a total of 4 locations. Absolutely no drilling for any of the locations and the mount will not contact your painted body. If using for a CB, the forward location will offer better utilization of the hood as a ground-plane. For HAM/GMRS frequencies, there is less dependency on the ground plane and the performance difference in the locations is negligible.
In the image below, Gadgettr has chosen the driver's side more forward cowl mount and is using Garmin's 6db 32" Whip antenna.
And in this picture below, Ray has chosen to use the passenger side and is leveraging the position closer to the A-pillar. He is also using the 32" Garmin whip antenna.
Sorry not to have a picture yet, but we've had several orders recently where Jeep owners are ordering the mount with Garmin's "Ghost" antenna. I think this is a really good look and although it will not have the maximum range of the 6db 32" whip, for trail rides and group functions it will be plenty fine. The cool thing about NMO mounts is that antennas can be swapped on or off in just a few seconds. I can see scenarios where people are using the Ghost antenna for most situations and then swapping on the 32" whip when they need maximum distance.
