Re: Advice needed with a Ham Radio Antenna on a TJ.
Chrysler has a similar tech write-up. Don't know where to get it
though. Maybe one of the 'Jeep' techs that post here can get a copy??
The harnesses run in different places than the GM's. Even full sized GM
vans are opposite to the diagrams in the link, their radio harness has
to run on the passenger side.

Re: Advice needed with a Ham Radio Antenna on a TJ.
Hood antenna Mounts
http://www.westcoastmall.net/shop/de...cPath=21_94_97
I use a magnetic mount antenna. While wheeling in the open it sits in the
center of the roof. In forested areas it gets repositioned onto the hood
near the cowl so that it doesn't get knocked off.
