Well, since this has turned into a non-jeep related 3D printing thread, I guess I'll chime in. I'm definitely a cheap mofo, so for Christmas everyone is getting 3D printed foldable phone stands. I know, a lot of people already have Popsockets or kickstands on their phone. Well, they can just...

Or something. A vent actually has slits completely through. This looks like an amp worth breaking into your jeep to steal. You'd be better off covering your radio with an empty box of Ritz crackers.

I eat glitter on a regular basis so I can be a party pooper 😁

I was making a joke. So, you really want the look but not the function? To each his own. But since you don't want a spare tire I'm sure you can rig a way to carry the cover. The mounting doesn't really need to support any heavy weight.

No, you don't need a tire carrier. You can carry the tire inside your jeep. Or, you can just mount the hard tire cover to the jeep so people will think you have a spare tire.

Sure, but they're relatively short range. Shortwave radios can reach all over the world. I heard that when 9/11 happened the HAM operators were the first to transmit the news.

HAM radio is the only way to communicate should the grid go down unintentionally or intentionally. It's station to station without a third party.
