Having been the owner of a CJ5 back in the 70's, I'd leave the soft-top
alone, leaks bother me. Darn cover leaked air so bad it challenged the
heater and won in cold/snow country--easily! Actually, wasn't that
great even for California winters!
A pipe/tubing mounted to the bumper (are the bumpers still metal?) and
one of the commercial 1/2 or 5/8 sounds good.
One of the helical wound fiberglass will get you going, remember, it
won't be the last antenna you buy in life. Better yet, construct it
yourself off some freely shared plans on the internet ...
Others recommendations may differ ... your choice. I'd just leave the
soft-top alone ...
Regards,
JS
