2002 Blazer CB antenna mount location

Sorry if something isn't right, I'm new here. Anyway, I've got a 2002 Chevy Blazer 4dr 4wd. I have 2X 4' Firestik cb antennas. I'm going to hook up one and make the other a dummy. Anyone have any ideas where I could mount duals to where it wouldnt look too out of place? Thought about making mirror mounts, tail light mounts, roof rack mounts by the light bar. I just dont know what would be best! I uploaded a few crappy drawings of where I would put them, what do you think?

I made a mount next to my taillight. I had it bumper mounted but was getting very directional reception so I moved it up and its far better now. I just bent a piece of stainless to work but you could also use a door jamb mount. I have pics of the install somewhere in my build thread. Sorry I don't have any idea what page tho way to many to keep track of now:( I think the roof rack is way to high for that long of a fiberglass antenna you won't be able to go thru a simple drive thru. I hit every drive thru I go to as it is! I also don't know if the mirrors would hold up to the antennas they are just plastic. Plus you would have to either run a "no ground plane" setup or run an additional wire to the mount to ground the antenna. Hope this helps a bit!

Just kidding I found some pics:)

I'm not too concerned with hitting things, I had a 102" before lol. It just fell off and i figured time to change things up a bit. If I do Mirror mounts it'd be a metal piece coming from the door frame bolted somewhere.

i have a mag mount in the middle of the roof. wilson 1000 and a 5 foot whip. it hits all the drive thrus and some trees. but it has never moved. if you are looking for quick and easy with outstanding reception, i would recommend it. i use mine 6 times a week for 12-14 hours a day for the last 4 years and havent had a problem.

I ended up doing roof rack mount since I already had the hole drilled from my of road lights. I'll upload pics when I get home since I haven't figures out how to do it for mobile. Cheers!

Pics are up, I ended up doing roof rack next to the light bar. Only minimal interference when the strobes are on, very low SWR too! Need to reinforce the mount however as it bent while going to sonic. :(
