Just out of curiosity, will that work for your setup?thank you!

I know you aren't asking me, but I have a Bak X4S and the mount will clear the bulkhead cross-bed rail. The roll up can be adjusted with the retaining straps to keep the roll away from the bracket.Just out of curiosity, will that work for your setup?
If you're referring to the bolt securing the NMO adapter, the bolt provided is long because it's designed to be mounted on a Mopar reinforced tire carrier. That thing is thick. But yes, a button head inverted would get the job done too.And as an afterthought, to gain more room, use a button head bolt inverted from the installation shown in the picture. To protect the threads pointing up now, get a stainless steel acorn nut to go over the top of the nylok nut.
I need to measure later tonight. I have the pace edwards switch blade that retracts, has a little hump to it, but I think it will be fine. I may use it to place amber rear lights on it, instead of a whip. I dont have rack but thinking i can angle them down and to the sides.Just out of curiosity, will that work for your setup?
Nice product. Looks clean.For those of you who own a Jeep JT Gladiator, without a bed rack and have been wanting a clean way to install an antenna mount for something like a CB Radio, HAM Radio, GMRS or Race Radio, this is something you might be interested in. Designed to be installed on the bulkhead of the truck bed on either the passenger side or driver side, this new mount is made out of 3/16" stainless steel for optimal performance, comes with stainless steel hardware, installs in minutes using basic tool and best of all, it can be used with a factory tonneau cover. Here are some shots of what it looks like installed and with the optional adapter bolted on to allow for the use of an NMO style radio antenna.
I should note that this particular design will only work on 2021-Up Gladiators but I am working on a version that will on 2020 as well. Also, while it can be used with a tall and heavy Firestik II type antenna, you will see movement in the mount due to the height designed into it to help clear a tonneau top. If this is a concern of yours, I would recommend using a Firefly type antenna or something more traditional like what you see in the pics above. As far as price point goes, I am still working on it now but it is my hope to keep it in the mid $30 range.
Please let me know if you have any questions. Otherwise, I hope to have these available for sale before the end of the month.
Correct. 2020 Gladiators have a nutsert installed on the lower of the 2 holes shown in the pic you included. 2021-up Gladiators do not. I do have plans to make a bracket that will work with 2020 but it would only use the upper bolt hole. Looking at step #3, I am willing to bet that you could use this antenna mount to do the same thing as the bulkhead bracket shown.Nice product. Looks clean.
Are you saying 2021 and up because of the possibility of not having a weld nuts? I know my tonneau cover uses a bracket with weldnuts on the back side (Cab side called the bulkhead bracket)) to secure the bolts coming though so not sure this mount would work that set up. I know extang and rugged ridge covers uses these brackets. I'll attach a pick below.

Looks great. Looking fwd to when these will be available. Well done!!!! Glad I could help. HAHAHHABased on the recent post made by mtudb24, I decided to see whether or not my JT antenna mount could be used with something like a KC Flex LED Light Single. That said, here's what it would look like...
Needless to say, I really like it and will be keeping the setup! Thanks for the idea
Yup, this mount would work well for that.I want to put strobes on the back for dust. That will be great for adding the ones I was thinking of using.
