Installed my CB antenna today. Now just waiting for the actual CB to come in the mail on Monday!
Check it out:
Before I started, I installed a little rubber stopper on top of the adjustment bolt on the mount so it doesn't screw up the paint on my body (you will see later):
To get started, I first removed the passenger side tail light assembly:
Then drilled pilot holes using the mount as a template:
Then installed the mount using self-threading sheet metal screws (about 1 inch):
Re-installed the tail-light assembly (no pic. Figured you get the point). Did NOT cut a notch out of the assembly because I wanted to keep moisture out of the assembly. It's a snug fit, but it fits!
I had a little tab thingy to run the cable through to keep it snug against the door jam and out of the way:
The cable just runs into the cargo area and will eventually be tucked under the carpet and run to the front where the radio will be installed.
Finished product (sorry its a bit dark):
Aren't you glad we installed that little rubber stopper? --
