Glad we've got some folks around here that are experts on what looks gay and what doesn't. I've just never had an eye for that.

Got mine installed too...[emoji41]
Did you end up making or buying a bracket to hang your mic?
How about some info on how those dash trim pieces come off for the install?
The AC head unit and trim snaps out as one piece. Starting from the right of the unit/trim (at the seam that can be seen between the microphone and the grab handle bolt) use a plastic trim tool behind the edge of the AC head trim and pull straight out rather than prying so as not to bend the plastic. Once the right side pops out, work your way around to unsnap the rest of the clips. The start / stop button also is attached to the AC trim. In fact, it has to come off in order to remove the radio trim that is bolted/screwed behind the AC head.

Here's a pic of my antenna mounted on the mopar reinforcement...
Whichever mount you choose, the JL tailgate has virtually no ground to the body or frame. You will need a ground strap. Here's what I did...
Also, if you get the mopar tailgate reinforcement, you will need an extented stud bolt to fit the thicker mounting tab. I was only able to find one on walcottradio. View attachment 2599View attachment 2600View attachment 2601
Nice and simple. Do you have any passenger feedback on how it affects legroom? (My wife is tall)

Yes, there is at least one company that has an antenna mount for the JL tail gate.I’ve yet to see any antenna mounts for the JL. Are there any out there??
Here are some pictures of the mount from Cool Tech installed on the Jeep JLU.Yes, there is at least one company that has an antenna mount for the JL tail gate.

The additional one looks way cooler than the integrated one [emoji3]
Yes, however have you tried to find an antenna that will fit besides maybe a FireStik? Besides, I may end up using that for a ham radio antenna mount or maybe a flag pole mount.Ummm, you do know that your Mopar tailgate reinforcement hinges comes with an antenna mount, right? I mean, you can see it right next to the one you bought and installed.
