CB Antenna Mounts

[jstyer]

Any suggestions as how to mount CB antenna(s)? I have my single antenna mounted on my toolbox in the bed just like I did on my '99, but when I take the pop-up camper instead of the 5th wheel, I usually put the cap on the truck and I have to take my toolbox out and there goes the antenna.

Firestik Antenna Co. makes a custom fender mount for the new gen. Rams. Pretty inexpensive, excellent quality, and easy to install. This was the best option for me, because there is no way I'm drilling a hole in my roof, or using a cheesy magnetic mount. BTW, their antennas are excellent also. Their web site also contains a wealth of factual CB information which I found very informative, since I'm not really a "radio" guy. I happen to live where they are located, and recently stopped by their shop to buy my gear. The guy I talked to was very helpful and polite, and talked "shop" with me for a good 15 minutes. You can order direct from them also. Prices are very reasonable.

I have dual antennae mounted on my fenders. Works great. I ran the cables under the hood, and down to the shift tree on the transmission. The transmission has two shift boots. There is the one you see, and the one hidden under the console. I ran the cables thru the hidden boot. Be careful, tho, because the cable could rub the paint off if not careful.

Thanks for all the help guys. I went to the enclosed firestick link and there are enough options as far as mounts are concerned to keep me busy. I still say the best investment you can make for your CUMMINS is to join TDR!!!
