I suppose they could rip the left rear apart to secure something. My HF antenna mount project might get infinitely more complex vs/ the straight forward paint job project. Will be lots of fun, though.
You may be better off removing the spare tires and having some made for the antenna back there, and mount the spare up front like they did on some RRs during the old wars!

Bob, I may have misunderstood you, but just wondering how did you manage to factory order a 2021 G550 equipped with 22” wheels? Don’t see that in the current DOG. Br, Larry

I was not able to order it that way, I bought a set of new take-offs from a forum member here, the Black cross-spoke ones. And I also bought the AMG side exit mufflers that I had powder coated to match the wheels.
