[Rover] CJ-type Jeeps as rover?

[Dan Evans N9RLA]

I think Phil has a pretty good point.

You can deal with the lack of space if necessary, I use a Ford Ranger!  But,
using the roll bars for an antenna mount may be trouble.  What happens if it
rains?  I've never owned a jeep, but I think you have to have the top down
[off] to get to the roll bars, right?

And, unless you go with a hitch mount and leave the antennas on the mast
while in motion, where do you store the antennas during transport?

Of course you can deal with all of these problems if you want.  A small
utility or camper trailer comes to mind.  Just depends on how bad you want
the jeep, like Phil said.  You just have to plan ahead on how to handle the
antennas, how to setup the rigs, how to get power to the rigs, etc. etc...
Come to think of it, this is the fun part:-)

Good luck,
Dan
