Appreciate the quick response, I was looking on their old site it seems. Any details on how they mount? Frame, Body bolts, the oem Rubicon bolts, pinch seam, etc? Any drilling? Really interested in these as I love the flat style with protection. Rockhard is coming out with there's supposedly but so is summer šŸ˜‚. Thanks in advanced.
It looks like it's mounted directly to the frame as well as the oem rubicon bolts. It's pretty dark in the parking garage and I don't carry a flashlight. I'll get you some more info from my shop if you have interest in them.

Iā€™m running a Diamond Super Gainer K400 mount and NR770HAB antenna. The mount fits like a glove over the hood and set screws are about a quarter inch long. Iā€™ve got them tightened down about an 1/8th to 3/16th of an inch inch and backed them out to check for paint penetration and Iā€™ve got metal to metal contact. I tried to avoid the sealant and the K400 set screws miss it by a few millimeters. The antenna is internally grounded and doesnā€™t require a ground plane but Iā€™m not buying itā€¦lol. I went with this antenna as itā€™s the electrically longest available tuned for UHF/VHF and folds in the middle.
Thanks, I will probably look at getting a larger hood mount or try and find longer set screws..... the cowl mount works ok and does pretty good with stubby ghost antennas, but trans/rec would be better mounted to the hood...... I m sure most any setup will work on the trail when close.... but I want to be able to reach out in case of an emergency....

Installed my sunrider soft top - my freedom panels may never go back on! Also added a wireless front camera, looking forward to seeing how well it works when pulling the Gladiator into my garage.
The Sunrider top is absolutely the best upgrade you can do to the Jeep IMO. I love mine! Open or close the top in 3 seconds. Best item I ever bought for my JT. Pricey, but worth it.

I didnā€™t get it until I got one. Totally agree.

Yes, the garage is a mess, itā€™s cold and rainy outside and Iā€™m doing stickers šŸ˜‚ still have the Stars and Stripes on the hood and tailgate to put on, plus the corners for the rear which will require removing the lights. Iā€™ll save those for next week. Highly recommend a professional do this stuff, it might look good on camera but I suck at this!

Under normal conditions I can reach 20+ miles away over VHF. My HF setup (different antenna) can reach states away.

Looking for gladiator
Finally put on my Xtreme Recon fender flares or extensions whatever they are. Iā€™m pretty happy with them. They got rid of just about all the poke.

Which light bar is that on your bumper? Looks great.

Thanks man! Hereā€™s the recipe, that is a Rigid SR 20 midnight edition the ones by the pillars are the same thing just in the 6 inch. The bumper is mounted with the rigid jeep wrangler bumper mount PN 41662, the ones in front of the windshield are mounted with the go rhino 730060T mounts. Iā€™m really happy with how subtle it all came out, but works extremely well! And still plenty a room for when I get my warn.
