Anybody use one of these on their Jeep? I was going to bumper mount one to my TJ but need to be able to be able to fold it down to get into my garage. Any ideas? I've seen cars that use a gutter clip to hold it down, something like that is what I need. FWIW I don't go on group rides so I don't care about the 4' trail ride rule.
Just remember that its dangerous to any bystanders, spotters too.
Why do you think you need that kind of antenna? (unless it's primary purpose is to hold a flag for visibility like Bill mentioned) One of those

I have two of these in a relay and they are mounted on top of my hardtop. Gives me a total height of, let's call it 15 feet. I just crimp small bungee cords around the tip and strap them down to a convenient location in the bed or on the rails when I'm driving on-road. This lets me garage park.
Never heard of a 4' rule other than at a gentlemen's cabaret.
They detune badly at highway speeds... but are about unbreakable otherwise. If you are looking for something that will be in one piece, and work regardless of the condition that's the aerial for the purpose. Wait until it nails you in the bean after it hangs up in a tree limb.
i have a 96" marine whip on my YJ. quadratec.com sells a cb mount for the spare tire stop. i used a heavy duty spring mount on top of that from radioshack, so i can tie it to my bumper for offroading or whatever.
those ball bungees are great for that!
