Well, here was YESTERDAY'S adventure - trying to see if things will line up where I'd like them. Like, the CB antenna.



Fairly high on the inside of the hatch, so my Wilson antenna gets maximum range, BUT... this area is mostly plastic (the mount isn't long enough to reach steel here), and with a pot barrel spring, and three foot antenna (and quick detach mount), I fear it'll be too much weight and stress on the plastic for it to last long. So I looked at another potential spot.




Three or four mounting points, in tougher plastic, with a convenient ground under the screw holding the luggage rack on... it's a thought - I've ot to see HOW tough that plastic is, though. I'm thinking, maybe between the hatch and the roof topside, and drilling through the roof there. Tube o' silicone, here I come...

Playing with the CB/scanner mount and the console, I see more problems.




The ball mount base is too wide for effective contact.

A different mount WILL work here, and power cords and coax can be stuffed under here...
