I do not know about your jeep but there are some possible ideas.

Mag mount, carefully GLUE a stainless steel circle to the center of the roof, mke it a 3' circle please.

I used to have a car where I wished not to drill holes,, I had enough clearance between hood and fender (I do not think you do but perhaps somewhere else) that I built a "Z" bracket.. Only make the bends in the "Z" right angles kind of like this

Holes in the two flat parts. One was bolted to the fender, the antenna went in the other Hood went where the period is.

When I got rid of the car I removed and replaced the fender bolt, removing the bracket in the process. Bracket was painted to match the car (Dupli-color)
