I'm trying to mount a rather heavy ham radio antenna to my hatch. Why? That's not what this thread is about, but the gist is that the rear is the only place on the jeep that will offer it sufficient protection from smashing, and I don't want to have to remove it or swing it out to open the hatch.
It is to heavy for my lift supports. I tried resting it on my open hatch and it probably closed about half way. This is not acceptable. Neither is a prop-rod.
Is it possible to buy a more powerful set of lift supports? Are they totally vehicle specific or could I shop by length, lifting force, and end joint type? Or retrofit some other type in there? Anybody done this before?
Thanks
