Ok, started my CB antenna hookup today. I just need to terminate the other end in my cab and im set.

Didn't have a good ground at first so I threw a jumper cable on there... now have perfect continuity!

I kinda like that mounting spot. I put mine up high. Its over 8ft up which creates problems getting in a parking garage. I dont want to grind the top off against the concrete.LOL. I guess I could get a quick disconnect, not sure how good they work.

[Matt]

Thanks. I'll probably keep mine inside and just put it on when going offroad... but at the same time I didn't want it much taller than my roof line so it doesn't scrape branches and other overhangs.

Finished it up. As a reminder I have the Midland CB that plugs into the outlet and has the option for connecting an exterior antenna.

I used Velcro to hold the end up to the center console... simply peel off and plug in.

You have to re-tune your antenna again....

id like to get a new firestik... any thoughts: red, blue or black? im thinking blue to go with the lights...

Blue! Just make sure it's the tunable one and not the one you trim to tune.
