Ok, so I wanted to mount an antenna on my jeep for my CB to give it a little more nostalgic look.. Not wanting to mount to the drawbar, or drill ANY holes in the body, I decided to fabricate a custom mounting bracket. Now I wanted it to look "factory" or at least as if it was meant to be there, so i chose to design my mount to attach to the spare tire carrier. As the pics show, I matched the angle of the spare tire bracket, then came up between the body and the spare tire with my newly fabricated mount. I had to drill only one 1/4'' hole in the body of my jeep in order to eliminate the sway in my bracket. All in all I think it turned out pretty good, and have had several comments as to where i purchased it!

to many jeeps, parts, and accessories to list here, but apparently enough to keep me in trouble with my wife.

I'll second that!
 
Looks similar in design to military styled antenna mounts I've come across over my USAF career.
