I was going to mount the antenna in the rear, using a piece of flat steel mounted to the flat spot where the liftgate meets the body just above the taillight and a springmount. It would come off the drivers side and look good I think.

I would go with a Firestick CB antenna. As for the CB, I am going to get one that fits in the spot of the stock Cassette player since I don't use it. Post up some pictures when you are done.

 

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
In the drawings:
FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing the preferred antenna mounting assembly of the present invention mounted in the frame of a window, the ground plane elements being shown in a first position (dotted lines) and a second position (solid lines); and

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
Referring now to the drawings in detail, and initially to FIG. 1 thereof, the preferred embodiment of the antenna mount assembly 10 of the present invention is illustrated. As shown, the assembly 10 is mounted in a window frame 12 and is adapted for use with a conventional vertical CB antenna 14.

Referring now to FIGS. 1 and 2, the antenna mount assembly 10 includes three principal components, namely, a bracing member 16 receivable within the window frame 12, a boom assembly 18 secured to the bracing member 16 and adapted to extend outwardly from the building wall 20, and a plurality of ground plane elements 22 secured in an angularly oriented radial arrangement to the boom assembly 18. Means are also provided for removably securing the antenna 14 to the boom assembly 18 substantially at the point of intersection of the ground plane elements 22. http://www.acmeantenna.com/products.asp?c_id=1] CB Radio[/url] As will be more fully explained hereinafter, due to the particular construction of the boom assembly 18, the ground plane elements 22 are swivellable, the swivelling motion of the elements 22 defining a horizontal plane. The swivelling of the ground plane elements 22 permits the directional strength of the signal transmitted from the vertical antenna http://www.acmeantenna.com/products.asp?c_id=2] CB antenna[/url] 14 to be increased thereby minimizing the effect of obstructions such as the building wall 20. Moreover, the assembly 19 has great structural integrity and yet is readily assembled and disassembled to permit easy installation and removal. In addition, the vertical CB antenna 14, being readily removable http://www.acmeantenna.com/products.asp?c_id=3] antenna mount[/url] from the assembly 10, may double as an antenna for a second CB unit when the base station is not in use. http://www.acmeantenna.com/products.asp?c_id=4] multifunctional antenna[/url] Referring now to FIG. 2 in detail, it is seen that the bracing member 16 comprises http://www.acmeantenna.com/products.asp?c_id=5] GPS antenna[/url] a main tubular member 24 having a pair of end brackets 26 secured thereto. One of the brackets 26a is adapted to be fixedly secured to one end of the tubular member 24. This may be http://www.acmeantenna.com/products.asp?c_id=6] TV antenna[/url] accomplished, for example, http://www.acmeantenna.com/products.asp?c_id=7] FM/AM antenna [/url] by a generally U-shaped double bolt 28 which extends through a bore 29 in the tubular member 24, the bracket 26a being securable to the bolt 28 by the nuts 30. The other end bracket 26b is extensibly secured to the http://www.acmeantenna.com/products.asp?c_id=8] Dummy antenna [/url] other end of the tubular member 24 thus allowing the length of the bracing member 16 to be varied until the end brackets 26 press against opposite sides of the window frame 12, whereby the window http://www.acmeantenna.com/products.asp?c_id=9] antenna accessory[/url] antenna mount assembly 10 can be secured within window frames having a variety of widths. As presently preferred and shown, a bolt 32 is threadably mounted in the opposite end of the member 24, the bolt 32 passing through a hole 36 in the element 26b. Preferably, the end of the bolt 32 is peened at 34 to http://www.acmeantenna.com/products.asp?c_id=10] antenna connector[/url] maintain end bracket 26b thereon even after removal of the assembly 10 from the window frame 12. A pair of nuts 38 are threadably mounted on the bolt 32 between the end bracket 26b and the tubular element 24. By varying the length of the portion of the bolt 32 protruding from the end of the member 24, the length of the bracing member 16 may be adjusted. Once the proper length is achieved to clampingly press brackets 26a and 26b against opposite sides of the window frame 12, one of the nuts 38 is used to secure the end bracket 26b between that nut and the peened head 34 of the bolt 32, the other nut 38 being used to lock the position of the bolt relative to the member 24. This is best shown in FIG. 1

ok well i re joined the cb gang this weekend and am trying everything to not get a mag mount but I am being pushed. I have searched and searched and gotten no solid information. I have 102" whip mounted to the spare tire rack and additionally using a no ground cb antenna cable. And even have the thing grounded with a 8" ground wire. But my reach is horrible I can hear but can not transmit more than 20 feet. I am not against mounting some where else just want it to look good oh yeah and if it worked that would be nice. I guess what I am asking is those of you that do not have mag mounts how and where did you mount your antenna? Thanks In Advance
