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

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.

i hooked mine up horizontally on my roof racks, looks like i dont even have cb antennas, i hae to 44' fiberglass whips, not sure what brand, i got them used from a friends dad who owns a trucking business, they work excelent.
