Another Starlink thread

[azmojave]

I finally got my Starlink but having a hard time figuring out where to mount it due to my preferences.
I don’t think I can mount inside because I put sound deadening tape with metal under the @Hothead Headliners. No I’m not taking them off. Maybe someone can tell me if it will still work. IDK
I don’t want a roof rack.
I have a roll up hard (metal) tonneau cover so I don’t want cross bars.
I thought about sticking it to the hood with magnets (Mojave has steel hood) but that’ll be annoying.
Has anyone mounted theirs to the roof with magnets? I’m thinking about that but need to find something that fits between the ribs of the hard top to use stick on metal discs.

For special mounting plates Amazon is going to be your friend. I know I’ve seen self adhesive metal plates on there somewhere. I think your other option is doing a through bolt to the rear section. That’s not ideal though.

When I get to this stage I’m just going to bite the bullet and get a rack. I don’t need to carry tons of gear up there but it makes a good mounting platform for StarLink, air horns, kids…….

Mine is on the roof with magnets and base plates attached with vhb. It works fantastically well. It sticks up less than 2”, and is fully protected by the mount.

I don’t use mine on the highway so I just got a magnetic mount for the hood from Amazon for when I’m off-road and when I get to camp I move it to a light tripod. I also bought a couple of 12v LifePO4 batteries and a suitable charger so I don’t have to run it off my Jeep battery when I’m camp. Next purchase is a portable charging solar panel for the batteries.

You can set it up inside and see if it works or not. Even when the subscription is on pause it still has a very slow connection that you can verify if it works or not. I have mine mounted on a overhead tray with these mounts:

That was my initial idea but I’ll have to try it before I spend any money on that. I tagged @Hothead Headliners to see if they have any input.

it won't work if you put foil backed sound deadening under the headliner.

Just finished my starlink install last week. Used a above the spare tire bracket mount not using the basket.

Doesn’t look like a JT

Nope it's not. Put many people including me fallow both forums.

Unfortunately, useless in this conversation. No way to make that work on a JT.

But my method works perfectly. No holes drilled.
