JEEP JK GLASS WINDOW WRANGLER SOFT TOP DRIVERSJeep soft tops are perfect for drivers who use their Jeeps for outdoor activities as they offer much-needed protection in warmer conditions. These accessories also let you open them up as you drive in pleasant weather and are also lightweight, making them easy to remove and replace with new ones. Soft tops help prevent different elements from damaging your vehicle. These mounts also prevent you from being able to take off the roof or doors in the summer.Keep the Elements Out from Your Jeep with a Soft Top You could use a window type mount on the back doors of a 4 door Jeep, but it would make that door non-usable as the coax would get pulled out of the radio, kinked, and otherwise disrupted every time you opened the door. You can't put it on the tailgate glass as it would destroy the antenna if you opened the back due to the way that it mounts vs the angle of the glass when it is opened. Window type mounts don't work in the back as the hard top windows don't open, and the soft top "windows" are soft plastic. The fenders on the JK are thin plastic and there isn't enough material there to hold a NMO mount securely. Older Jeeps use mounts that drill into the factory fenders, but those are problematic on the JK unless you go with aftermarket fenders. An aftermarket bumper does not fix this problem, as the issue isn't with the bumper itself, it's with the metal of the engine bay and tailgate. The only way to avoid that is to get an extremely long antenna (such as a Diamond NR22L). Putting the antenna right next to the vertical metal of either the air intake or the tailgate makes the SWR go crazy due to the metal of the vehicle acting like an antenna director that isn't set up properly. I've since replaced this with a HF mount on my JK.īumper mounts don't work at all on JKs unless your antenna is extremely long (6+ feet). I tried a VHF/UHF mount here but was never happy with how well the signal got out. This kit specifically for Bestop Replace-A-Top 79146 (also can fit Supertop NX 54722 or factory soft top). Tinted'Window Kits include'two rear side window panels'and one rear window curtain. Please note: This product fits the 2018 Jeep Wrangler JK. These mounts require that the antenna is up away from the body of the Jeep and not behind the tire or the metal on the vehicle will cause high SWR.

Also, I'd recommend not running the coax inside the roll bar. There is no ground plane on the rear of the vehicle. Those types of antenna do not require a solid groundplane to make them function. If you go with a tailgate mount, then go with an antenna that is a half wave length long. Also, I like to take my roof off in the summer. The mount is set up for a CB type stud mount, so you'll need to modify the mount itself by making the hole larger so that NMO will fit. No drilling into the vehicle is needed as it mounts using existing bolts. I've tried a bunch of different mounts on my Wrangler JK and have come to the conclusion that a hood cowl mount is best for VHF/UHF ham radio.
