Just bought a Firestik "molded side mount" CB antenna mount. I picked
this mount mostly 'cause I thought it would look stock(ish) when
installed. Now I'm stuck as to where to attach it... I'm down to 3
possible places:

1. Passenger side, just above the rear wheel in front of the seam.

2. On the back, driver-side, just to the right of the left tail light.

3. Driver-side front quarter panel, exactly opposite the stock radio
antenna.

And thoughts, opinions, criticisms of these various locations would be
appreciated.

Thanks, folks

John, '02 TJ

 

I'm going to get one of these for my TJ...

Put it on the back. You can put it on the side, but passing bushes and
branches will rip it off, that's why mine is on the back ...

That's where mine was and I removed it. I kept catching it on trees.
