Haven't seen this before, but definitely appeals to me. How do you have yours set up?

I have one on my 11 jku, you loose reception but where I live the radio stations suck and I never listen to them. In cities it works well, also it seems to work better with an aftermarket deck.

I have it located behind the trim above the windshield in the center. But it could be placed anywhere really.

Not sure how low cost but I did this for half the cost of a rear bumper:
Dropped spare (free)
Added delete ($70)
Added ORO light ($40)
Added billet hole plugs and license plate washers from Vector OR (<$70)
Dropped rear stock bumper (free)
Added ORE frame D-ring mounts (~$150-160)

I don't. I had one in my silverado and my GTO but haven't tried my JK. Worked good in my GTO but not so much in my Silverado.
