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:-)

In S/E Texas we are somewhat void of any hills and what few hills there are
do not have any roads going to the top of them and besides they're on
private property at that.  My job keeps me on the road a lot and thanks to
topozone.com I've been able to re-con what appears to be some good operating
locations.  However, few would be accessible with anything short of a jeep,
or other short wheel-base 4X4.

While out in El Paso I did a recon to the Guadalupe Mountains.

But no vehicles are allowed up on top its about a 3.5 hour hike up and you'd
have to pack everything you need. :-(
