The antenna mount looks like it would get ripped off on the trails? Bumper looks great. Love the sticker ;-)

I was a little worried about that too. Kinda trying to find another spot for it, but will prob. run it like that and see how it goes. I had a hell of a time getting the swr's down, so i don't want to touch it now

Try bolting it between the top of the taillight and body. Seen it there on a few XJs.

I dig tje sticker refectors on the bumper looks good.

As far as the cb antena put it on the roof where it is right now it has no ground plane for reception and transmissions.

I'm actually looking to mount it on the cowl in the center of the vehicle. I saw it there on the XXXpedition XJ and liked it. Should be well protected there too. Just not sure if it will be too distracting on a DD.
Otherwise i'm going to put it above the taillight. Really don't want to drill a hole in the roof.

on the cowl might be annoying i would think id say mount it on the roof/roof rack somehow like a u bolt clamp mount or a gutter mount. Bumper looks good might want to put something behind those shackles though my freind have those on their rear bumpers and they clang like a bitch...

This is the second vehicle I've used the d-rings on. I never hear them. I'm trying to come up with a detachable mount for the cowl. I only use it when i'm wheeling, so it won't be too bad.
YMMV
