RE: CB antenas
il get pics tommorow but i had trouble figuring how with mine becouse i wanted min holes to be drilled and to still be able to but my tailgate down with it still on i used a peice of diamond plate but it got bent so i moundted it on my bumper infront of my light.

RE: CB antenas
k heres an idea of how i had it first but that diamond plate wasint that strong so it keepd benting and making my whip and even the firestick look all messed up, and this is how i have it now.
this is how i first had it not bad just it bent from the whip whiping around and the firestick made it bent alot to out on the trail wasint sterdy for me but is a good idea so u can still put ur tailgate down

Looks good! I'd keep an eye on that spring though...those rust up real bad. I've never been able to find a stainless steel spring mount [&o]

RE: CB antenas
the spring is stainless steel it cost me 17 bucks at radioshack. lil pricy but in the long run it propply wasint becouse its around the corner and the only cb shops around are 30-50 miles away so i saved money on gas. flying js truck stop is like 39 miles out butflying j is a novolty store my uncle cant stand them, he drives a semi and told me no not go to go there so i went and it just a bunch of tourrist. i got the spring mount ideo from a picture i saw on zr2usa.com even tho i dont have a zr2 it still pretty good helpful site to check out.

RE: CB antenas
sorry to break it to ya, but those radio shack spring mounts are not really stainless. I've seen more than a few completely rusted out [:'(]
