I would like to see the mounts. Ya I might try to copy them. I have CB antennas I was going to install on my previous car just never had time needed to fab mounts for it too. I have thought about mounting them on the rear bumper or the front fenders in place of the radio antenna. I have a splitter that will let the car radio work off the CB antennas. Need to keep them low so they will pass through my 8' garage door.

Tough looking Patriot! We need more Patriots that look like than can actually do something constructive off road or in snow. Looks great!

I'm working on it...

16 X 8 soft eights in the basement. Saving up for tires, and looking for center caps and a spare 16" rim.
 
I used the stock wheels to keep the back spacing so the wheels would stay under the car. It would be nice if Jeep had made the Patriot like the Cherokee where the body was flat and the flare was added on. Then an owner could add wider flares as needed to contain flying mud or road slurry.

I forgot to mention, I really like the "Patriot" on the side of the hood.
