For a radio, I've been looking at the Cobra 75 WT SX. Here is a pretty cool article on mounting one in a TJ.

Anyone here seen this radio? The only drawback I've read about is the "in mic" speaker isnt the easiest to hear.
Also a pretty cool antenna bracket I found is here. Looking at the windshield mount.

Thoughts? Suggestions?
I would just cut a hole in your spare tire carrier and then run a grounding wire to the mounting bolt (the tire carrier itself doesn't make a very good ground). The firestick is a good antenna, make sure to get the tuneable one.
here is what mine ended up looking like. It worked very well and I was able to tuck it into the soft top when I wanted to go into parking garages.
