Some type of mount for the “whip” (extra)
control box (should come with it - can be either remote controlled and/or blue tooth)
Power wires to control box from power source
A switch to turn off/on

It is not a simple answer. The first question is - where do you want to mount it ? Of course, the bed is the best, and there are a lot of mounts for the bed, but, I have a rugged Ridge armis hard tonneau cover, and I cannot mount it on the bed. So, if you have a hard tonneau cover that you want to keep closed, then, bed mounts are not feasible.... The original soft Gladiator soft Tonneau cover should work with some bed mounts out there.
I mounted mine on the driver's side fender, but, the long LED whips are heavy and you need a good mount for the fender. The normal cowl mounts for GMRS/CB antennas are not strong enough.

I am using a dirt direct offroad DDOR LED DREAM WHIP (4.5FT) 400 COLOR COMBINATION; with a Quadratec JLJT-CBFMK Stainless Steel Fender Mount CB Antenna Kit for 18-22 Jeep Wrangler JL & Gladiator JT; and a Gorilla whips Heavy Duty LED Whip Spring Mount- Available in Silver or Black. This mount is strong enough to mount a tall 4.5 foot whip on the fender, but, you probably do not need the CB antenna kit, just the mount. Unfortunately, I do not see the mount offered separately from Quadratec... The whip is super bright and has 400 programs. You can get them through Adventure 4 Wheel.
You will not want to keep the whip mounted all the time, but, only when you need it off-road or during Jeep meets. ie. I would not recommend high speed 75 mph fwy runs, so, a quick disconnect like DDOR offers is ideal. here are som pics:

Note: the two rear cowl mounts for the GMRS and CB antenna are not strong enough for a long LED whip.

I was thinking he could mount it on his rail system he has behind the back window in the bed area would that work if so what mount would I need to get and what do you think of the 5150 whips?

I see two options for you. The Teraflex one below, which would mount on one of your two side trail rails in the bed. I guess you could mount it on the trail rail behind the back window, but, it might hit the hard top when windy. With this one, you will not be able to pull your tonneau cover shut.

Teraflex Uinta CB Antenna & Flag Whip Mount Bracket – JT

This 4x4 Attitude product bolts up to existing bolts in the front of the truck and mounts the led whip outside the bed. This will allow you to close the bed “soft” tonneau cover. There are other vendors that make a similar product, so, you might want to look around and pick the one that is best for you.

I do not know much about 5150 LED whips, but, if you end up getting a long LED whip, ie. 4.5 feet or more, I do recommend a Gorilla whips heavy duty spring. If you 4wheel a lot and hit the LED whip on tree branches, you will want a spring. The LED whips are not flexible, and they are heavy, so, a heavy duty spring is important. I also recommend a quick disconnect mount, so, your husband can keep the LED whip stored until he needs it, then, easily attach it.

I agree with hjdca
The whip will come with a magnetic quick disconnect and a short lead for connecting/disconnecting the wires. There will also be 2 cap for weather protection when not installed. One for the whip and one for the base that remains on the vehicle

You could try the Quake LED whip mounts, I used these for my flag mount when I had my soft bed cover. Mine were bed-lined and I cut a small notch in the gasket for the bed cover so that it would fit better.

thank you all for the help I think I know what I am going to do now and I hope I works out in doing more research I found out my husband has the uinta rail system so I am going to get him the teraflex uinta cargo bed antenna and flag whip mount and get him the 5150 whip model 187

Hello, I tried searching DDOR and stupid google wanted to change it to door,, couldn't find anything titled DDOR. I need a whip, flag, mount, and disconnect before labor day weekend. I do not have a rail system in the bed, I have an aftermarket hard tri fold tonneau cover, so I definitely need the fender mount and a quick disconnect would be fabulous and helpful. Does anyone have any links they could provide?
I found the quadratec stainless fender mount. I will keep looking and hope I get an answer from y'all also.
