    THanks for the info. I though about it and a magnetic base will work best, so that I can remove it to get it in the garage. I bought a Cobra 19 and a Lil Wilson from Amazon. The antenna had a bunch of good review and was not too overpriced. i think it is 30 something inches tall

    I have seen 3 or 4 magnetic base mounts fly off on the trail when they drag on a branch, etc.. I would hard mount.

    Flying off a few times beats breaking a hard mount.

    Most of the time, when the mag bases fly off, they hit a rock and smah into 1 million pieces. Either way I am just glad to see someone putting a CB in their rig.

    you ever heard of a spring? I have only busted my hard mount once when my truck went flying backwards and a tree "kept me" from going end over end. The same tree smashed my antenna mount into my tube bed. good story i know.

    We are talking real world applications here, keep your big money items like springs out of it Mr. Monopoly Man.



    you are correct sir, springs work well most of the time. I would venture to say that what ever you end up using, placement will be the key.

    I never seemed to have good luck with my CB, it is a regular cobra cb and 4 ft antenna with 12 ft coax. The antenna was mounted on the toolbox, could the cab blocking it have hurt it? Also I have heard that 18ft coax is better than 12ft. Any CB experts? Oh yeah, I had the antenna tuned or whatever also.

    Also, anyone know a good site that shows what vehicles use a certain lug pattern? I am lloking for some cheap wheels to replace the crappy looking ones on my little chevy.

    I was always told that cb antennas are tuned from the factory using an 18' coax (if they are non-tuneable models). The cab will block the signal a bit. Not having a 'clean power source' hurts alot of folks. They end up with alternator noise and have to add in so much squelch to quiet it down that they can't pick up a decent signal. Our local cb guy (who is a semi-quadriplegic by the way) has always told me that mounting it as close to the center of the vehicle is best. If it's at one end or the other, it will not pick up/transmit signals as good.
