Price range: $124.95 through $169.95
A-pillar brackets built for Jeep Wrangler JL and Gladiator JT owners who want a clean, functional mount for antennas and ditch lights. Formed from 5052 aluminum at roughly 12 oz per side, these are light enough to forget about and strong enough to not think twice about. Sold as a pair with zinc-coated hardware. No ditch light holes pre-drilled – drill them yourself for exact pod fitment and aim. Made in St. George, Utah.

Sold as a pair. Purpose-built for serious off-road use, these lightweight aluminum A-pillar brackets provide a clean and rigid mounting location for communications antennas and optional ditch lights while maintaining a low-profile OEM+ appearance.
The standard JL and JT hood profile differs from the raised hood found on the Wrangler 392, Gladiator Mojave, and some 2026+ Jeep Wrangler/Gladiator models. Because of the hood and cowl clearance differences, A-pillar brackets for these vehicles require different geometry for proper fitment.
These brackets are engineered specifically around the standard JL/JT hood profile to ensure proper alignment, clearance, and long-term durability. If your Jeep has the raised 392/Mojave-style hood, you will need our 392/Mojave (raised-hood) version instead.
| Vehicle | Hood Style | Correct Bracket |
|---|---|---|
| Jeep Wrangler JL / JLU | Standard JL hood | This Product |
| Jeep Gladiator JT | Standard JT hood | This Product |
| Jeep Wrangler 392 | Raised 392 hood | View Raised Hood Version |
| Jeep Gladiator Mojave | Raised Mojave hood | View Raised Hood Version |
| Jeep Wrangler White Cap | Raised hood | View Raised Hood Version |
| 2026+ Jeep Wrangler/Gladiator | Raised 392 / Mojave-style hood | View Raised Hood Version |
If your Jeep uses the raised 392/Mojave-style hood, including the 2026 Wrangler Rubicon, you will need our raised-hood version here:
Jeep Wrangler 392, Gladiator Mojave, and 2026+ Raised-Hood A-Pillar Light and Antenna Brackets
We intentionally do not pre-cut holes for ditch light pods. There are many different pod sizes, mounting patterns, and aiming preferences, so drilling your own mounting holes allows you to optimize placement for your specific lights and setup.
See our Jeep Wrangler A-Pillar Brackets collection for other configurations. Confirm the hood profile and fitment on the individual product page.
Some models of the 2026+ Jeep Wrangler/Gladiator now use the raised hood profile previously found on the Wrangler 392 and Gladiator Mojave.
Because the hood and cowl geometry changed, standard JL/JT A-pillar brackets like these will not properly fit the 2026 Rubicon.
If your vehicle has the raised 392/Mojave-style hood, you will need our raised-hood bracket version designed specifically for those vehicles.

Both the driver-side and passenger-side brackets include the removable accessory mounting plates shown here. These mounting plates are designed for communications antennas and ditch lights.
Each bracket includes a cutout below the accessory mounting plate for cleaner wire routing of lighting and antenna wiring.
The accessory plates bolt directly to the main bracket and can be removed if they are not needed for your setup.
The antenna holes are designed for antennas similar to these:
Please reference the dimensions in the image to verify compatibility for your specific antenna setup.
Our Low Profile Front 18″ LED Light Bar Mount pairs well with these A-pillar brackets to create a clean and functional auxiliary lighting setup without overwhelming the appearance of the vehicle.

No. The 2026 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon uses the raised hood design previously found on the Wrangler 392 and Gladiator Mojave. These standard JL/JT brackets are not designed for that hood profile. For the 2026 Wrangler Rubicon, you should purchase the raised hood version – https://americanadventurelab.com/product/jeep-wrangler-392-and-gladiator-mojave-a-pillar-light-and-antenna-brackets/
No. Those vehicles require our raised-hood bracket version specifically designed around the 392/Mojave hood geometry. View that version here – https://americanadventurelab.com/product/jeep-wrangler-392-and-gladiator-mojave-a-pillar-light-and-antenna-brackets/
The raised 392/Mojave-style hood changes the clearance relationship between the hood, cowl, and A-pillar mounting area. Because of that, separate bracket geometry is required for proper fitment.
Yes. These brackets are designed to support communications antennas and optional ditch lights using the removable accessory mounting plates.

Dylan Wadkins –
Received my brackets for my 2020 rubicon. Packaged great and after looking at the brackets, they are of great quality. Installed them and everything fits great and looks and functions even better! I will be buying more products from this company for sure. Only thing Iād say is my hardware (bolts) for the top of the cowl were an inch to long. Had some misc. bolts laying around and put them to use instead.

These brackets fit perfectly on my 2020 Rubicon. The orignal bolts that were send were too long, but a quick call got it all sorted out.
