some variation of one of these might be of help

would this work on the Gladiator?

I've been wondering about this for some time.... I figured someone had to make one. I'm going to do a bit of research on this, but this is probably the route I would go.

I've decided to mount mine on the front bumper in the hole that is pre-drilled for a Dune Flag. We'll see how that goes.

So on Amazon Rugged Ridge said it needs some changes to work on the JL... but on CJ Pony Parts, it says it's compatible. Confusing.. . maybe there's a different part number.

Need to remove the outer wings of the steel bumper, then it is on the passenger's side.

Well I have it installed. Still need to tune to make sure I have a good ground and this will work. It is angled forward a bit but if it works, that is good as it will be much harder for it to smack the hood!!

I'm trying to find a spot that is not in my way. The front bumper is a good spot, but I don't want to see it flopping around. The rear bumper is a good spot, but you'd have to get it in a really good spot for it not to be in the way of the tailgate.

I'm thinking another option may be between the cab and the bed. There's a good inch and change there. It could actually rest on the plastic of the bed side rail.
I'm also thinking of using a bracket that can bend down when I don't want it to look like an ant. or possibly a telescoping mount that would let me get the antenna even higher depending on where I am...
Still thinking...

I had no issues with the front bumper last week on multiple Colorado trails. I does lean a bit forward but with a 5' Firestick it never hit the hood and was tuned perfectly for a good signal. Easy to remove. If you do go that route, I would suggest an angled stud.

Looks like breedlovemounts thought about this already:
