What you said :laugh: I couldn't find any help either so I just kinda winged it. I mounted mine to the utilitrac on the back passenger side, I didn't push it all the way back because I have the bed extender and the brackets are in the trac too. Although it's definitely not the best ground I didn't have any problem getting it tuned down to 1.2 or 1.3, I remember it was pretty darn good, oh, and it's a 4' Firestik. I ran the cable through the fresh air vent behind the back seat on the drivers side, just lift one of the rubber flaps and send it through.
here you can see I ran the wire down the bed above the trac and under the bed rail, I zip tied it to the utilitrac med mounts so I can still use the trac
I was actually able to use the stock spring nuts that they give you so you can lock the cleats on the trac, they were actually the same thread as what came with the mount!
This is the mount I used, just not for it's intended purpose
Firestik 3-Way CB Mirror Mount [Firestik SS64A] - $15.95

nice to see some one pissed in your face this morning. clearly you are emotional about something.. maybe your a member that got picked on? take a few ****ing steps back and be helpful without being a smart ***.

No worries, just make sure you get a spring too, or something like the wilson flexible antenna because the mount isn't real strong when going left to right across the bed. It's fine going off road and when you're one the road the wind just angles it back towards the tail gate and the mounts real strong there but it does wobble side to side, if that makes sense.That is what I was looking for! Thanks. I think I am going to go that route
You can see in the second picture how thin the top is, it won't break, but it does flex. I just added the other piece that would wrap around a pole or mirror for that mount onto the back to help strengthen and stabilize it, doesn't do much but I like to think it helps

I mounted my antennas on the tool box. CB is in the dash. Take a look in my gallery to see the pics.

I did the same thing basically, but a little more ghetto since I dont have the utiltrack. I ran the PA wire through the firewall, ran my antenna wire out of the parking brake grommet, and tapped power off the 12v accessory inside the console from the back. Here's some pics.

ANd here is my external speaker i put up above the pedals, so its really loud, and since the built in speaker is on the radio itself in my console.

I know you really only wanted to see the antenna and mount, but oh well

Well I took a different route with my CB setup. I have a scanner in the truck so no room for a reg CB. I got the Cobra 75WXST all in one. Also I have a hard Undercover tonneau cover. Put a steel plate on the cover for magnet mount CB antenna. The Hustler antenna has a shorter whip on it and also has a spring at the base that bends when you open the tonneau cover. Took a couple pics of the setup. Sorry about the dirty tonneau cover. Darn rain.
