Howdy- I'm looking to add a couple U-clamp style roll bar mounts to either the soundbar roll bar or the rear roll bar (2012 Unlimited). I was wondering if anyone can recommend a retailer (if they exist).
One option might be to use the mounts that are popular with Wakeboard boats for mounting speakers to the wake tower. I've seen some billet versions that come in various sizes. Not quite sure what to do about the velcro padding around the bars. I would prefer NOT to drill into the roll bar.
If there are better options, please let me know. Thanks!

I was thinking of something more "factory" or aftermarket looking - similar to below (fits 1.6-2.2" diameter tube):

It depends on what you're trying to mount, but I would check out some race supply shops. Since I dont have a Jeep yet, Im not sure what diameter the tubing is, but I would assume it is similar to what we use for roll cages in our track cars. Check the link below for an idea of what Im referring to.

Hope that gives you more ideas on where to look or ideas on what will work for your plans.

Did you take a look at the RAM mounts? Gpscity carries them and there are hundreds of models that when interchanged give you thousands of possibilities. They have clamps for several bar diameters. Construction is excellent.
I use several of them on my Vector e-dock. ;-)
