Now i know everyone says "don't put it between the tire carrier and spare tire. You wont be able to open the rear window on the hardtop with it there." Well cant you just put it on the left side of the tire carrier instead of the right so when you open the tailgate it will clear the window?

Lastly! Has anyone mounted this cb in between the visors like this?

Issues? Anything you would do differently?

Attached is a picture of what i plan on doing except on the left hand side of the carrier so i can clear the hardtop window when i open it.

Thanks guys you have saved me countless times! I look forward to discussing this!

 

"don't put it between the tire carrier and spare tire. You wont be able to open the rear window on the hardtop with it there."

Why not?

 

So you can open it with it on the carrier even on the right side lol. many people keep saying the antenna blocks the rear window from opening fully

 

maybe they mean when the tailgate is closed you can't have the window opened..

I have two antennas on the tailgate one on the left one on the right and I can open the window just fine when the tailgate is opened....

 

Awesome! glad to hear it!! Thanks guys but what do you think of this setup? Any suggestions?

 

What year JK and where are you going to put it?

 

13 and my plan was to put the cobra 29 above the rearview on the loop for the hardtop. But im worried it will look obnoxious and not fit

 

From what I understand. If you put the antenna between the tire and the back of the Jeep, it screws with the signal. I don't know how the window got involved?

 

People had told me that with the antenna you wont be able to open the rear window because the window would hit the antenna. Obviously that is not true with the pictures provided. Thats how it was involved.

 

They are probably talking about you opening the window and keeping it opened without hitting the antenna if you close the gate. Meaning you will not be able to drive with the rear window opened. ;-)
