I also ground off the powder coating from mount and tire carrier. I also replaced the powder coated tire carrier bolts with stainless steel. I'm at 1.5 swr also. I've been thinking about running a ground strap from antenna mount to the jeep tub..

Where did you get your mount? I like it. Also, post a pic of your ground strap. Thanks
