Pictures? Mine cuts out now when I'm going north with my j30 installed.
You might give John a call. I asked him about this when I bought mine and he said if it became an issue he would see what he could do.

Here guys...I've had mine in this location for a few years now and am very happy with the reception. Please excuse "Tuweep" dirt
.I also have a little 10A battery charger mounted under that area.

Exactly!!! Site 8 was sweet and very private kind of hidden around the corner from the others.

Thanks. Was that the factory antenna relocated or an aftermarket antenna? I guess I'll email John and see if he will do anything. If I can just pick up an antenna and plug it in I'm fine with that, not sure if that is the case with the over complicated jeep electrical system.

That is the factory antenna relocated. If I recall correctly, the cable was long enough to reach through the driver's firewall and across underneath the cowling but it's shorter to route through the passenger firewall. I might have replaced the main cable section which you can purchase from the dealer as it disconnects near the antenna pigtail. Nothing complicated nor related to the electrical system that I am aware of....simply plugs into the radio. You need to drill the cowling, one hole (might be 1/2") for the main screw mount and another little one for a centering pin. Take your time.

Where did the factory install it? Don't know where to start.

Mine was pinned to the roll bar on the passenger side above the speaker assembly. Not sure if you can reach it with the hardtop on. Worst case you could just get another one and leave the factory antenna in place.

Would one of the owners be able to post a photo of what the Habitat looks like on the inside above the front seats? My wife has asked me if I remember what it looked like there and for the life of me I cannot remember. So, Sitting in the front seats, what is the ceiling made up of?

Ward, not sure how well the carpet would show up in a pic. It's a black low pile felt like material (automotive carpet?) that looks nice. Not sure if this is still being used for current production units.

That link is for the J30, but I think the interior is pretty much the same. Page 2 has what you are looking for.

Pockets are "options" and in doing just a visual comparison between my Habitat and a '13 JKU with hardtop, there looks to be a slight bit more room with the latter, although I didn't measure. Since I never had the factory hardtop I don't have a sense of the true space (height) difference.
