Installed a ham radio antenna on the Wrangler a while back. Jeepers often use the ready-made antenna mounts that put the antenna on the back bumper or between the tailgate and spare tire, which are both terrible places that distort and reduce propagation...and might actually damage the radio.
So to get a good ground plane and reduce obstructions for best propagation, I put a trunk lip mount on the cowl. Then I ran the coax into the engine compartment and through the firewall for a nice clean install.
Full write-up with more pics is here.
Here's the other end of that coax, showing how I mounted the radio. Just put that write-up on the site, too.
