just want to add a update to this. I got pissed off with the mag roof mount falling off so I attached it to a cross bar I built, which then caused my 2' wilson to snap in 2 with a garage door. I'm gonna get a 4' wilson on a spring mount and find a new location for it near the rear next month.

Just bought mine and i think im going to mount my 3' in the rear door jamb on the right with a Firestick door edge swivel mount. the antenna is the easy part, hard part is the dang CB

The CB is pretty easy, what part do you find hard? I mounted it to the right of the console and it has been solid ever since, and the wiring was just hooking to a ground post and then using a add-a-fuse. I would stay away from a 3' firestick, ive read a lot of bad things about them, most people I talk to swear by the 2' or the 4' but have had nothing but failure with the 3'. I'm sure some foalks will chime in with a different opinion now haha.

Well I still hit stuff, low trees, and plenty in parking garages, but not enough to annoy me. What does piss me off is something I didn't think out enough. I mounted my 4' antenna on a heavy duty spring and installed it behind my spare tire, it looks awesome BUT the spare tire limits the flex and makes my spring useless! This is a big risk of breaking my antenna, so I'm hoping I find a better solution one of these days. I'm gonna chance it, and if it breaks, I will find a new place, but for now, I'm just waiting to see what happens.
