The only problem might be is that the instructions are for a TJ. There isn't that much of a flat area on the new JK.
Be sure to post where you end up installing it. Pictures would be nice too!

CB Mount
I mounted my antenna to the back of the license plate as pictured.
Works good. Don't forget to attach a ground strap in side the box.
The cable follows the stock wiring harnes to the front under the floor.

What happened to the "whip" antennas that were popular years ago, I believe the Army still uses them in their Hummers...just curious since when I had a CB years ago these mounted on the bumper with a turn buckle that made the installation clean and no need to drill into any part of the vehicle plus I could get great reception and distance as well.

DO NOT MOUNT TO THE FENDER AS FIRESTICK SUGGESTS! I RIPPED THE SHEETMETAL ON MY TJ USING THEIR BRACKETS! The fender location does get the antena up high, but I had to move it because the natural whipping the antenna did put too much stress on the metal. Not to mention the JK sheetmetal seems even thinner than the TJ metal.
