Jeep looks great. I think that the way you mounted the antenna is good. I have a Larsen 2/70 mounted on a teraflex mount, (TJ) but if I was doing it again I think I would seriously consider doing what you did. '73.

I saw the coolest JK at one of the dealerships here. Jeep Green, lifted with the new BFG MT's. I was wondering how to mount my antennas. Teraflex makes a JK mount which bolts to the spare tire carrier. You might want to check it out. Thanks for the update.

Cool Jeep. Do you have any closeups of the antennas you have on the back? I would be interested. Thanks

I would chime in again as well, any and all pictures of your radio installations as well as antenna setups would be appreciated. Dave you are absolutely correct, any mobile installation of HF gear is a compromise. I have always used the 1/4 wavelength rule for ground plane, but on the Jeep...

Once again thanks to everyone, I hope others will continue to post their mobile antenna farms. Dave how does the Larsen NMO27 work out. I wanted to put one of those on the right side but my local Larsen dealer went belly up. I already had the Firestick so I kept it on that mount. Luke, you...

I will do that, especially our Safari, which literally got rained out when our Overland truck got stuck in the mud, and I had to get 23 college students back to the Nile on foot through animal country. I'll defiantely post a few pics. That trip, which was a Mission trip, really got this whole...

I guess I should sort of clarify. I have been a ham for 20 years. When I asked the question initially I thought that the antennas that I saw mounted on the front bumper were HF antennas, (or at least CB antennas). The trucks I saw in Uganda were usually UN or government type trucks, and the...

Thanks for the replies. I guess where I was going with that would be on an extended trip, one of several days to week in duration. Again I am thinking back to when I was in Africa this summer and would not want to have to get water from some of their clean sources. Thanks again. Cool forum.

Hey Everyone, Total newb here. I am wondering why I see people mounting antennas to the front of the vehicle. Is this a preferred location for overland travel? This is a serious question. I have been a ham for a long time and have never noticed anyone mounting an antenna up front until I...

Hello everyone, I am totally new to the expedition travel. I was wondering how you professional overlanders get clean water in the bush. Do you filter, or do you just stock up enough while in "town". Any thoughts would be appreciated.
