Looks good! Any issues running the coax through the rear door? I emailed Rick at Arizona rocky roads to see if he had a mirror mount for the JK. He said no, just the TJ's. He said to be careful about the cowl mounts on the JKs because the sheet metal is so thin. So it looks like the Arizona mount for me too. Probably next month, this month I picked up a Rancho oil pan skid (needed as evidenced by the awesome dent/scratch mark in my oil pan).

Yes. Originally I was going to run it through the rubber plug on the right side but I bought the coax with the PL259s pre-attached. But that would've meant that I would have had to drill a huge hole through the rubber plug. More to the point, the access hole on the inside right (under the plastic trim) was too small for the PL259s and again I didnt want to cut. So...I ran it through the vent then routed it through the larger access hole on the LEFT side of the tailgate (under the plastic trim).
