Larry, why don't you give that thing a bath once and awhile? :D

Up till about a month ago there was a Level 4 water ban in the county I live in. $250 fine for the first time they catch you using water outside. Second time they turn your water off. Since then I have had enough time to either fix it and wheel it or wash it and let it sit in the drive way. Which one would you choose?  ;)

what kind of mount do you have? Mounted mine to the spare tire carrier bolt (one that bolts carrier to the gate) with a bracket I drilled out. Works perfect.

not the best picture but this is mine. L bracket, drilled out a hole for the bolt. The mount is made to go on the mirror arm of a big rim but I took off the front plate and was left with just the L bracket.

I ran mine along the same route as the rear brake light wires.
-Open the gate, pop off the long black strip on the inside the tailgate (pop bottom out first).
-Then pop out the other black panel on bottom right inside of gate. Be careful with this one, the tabs can break easy to just go easy.
-Then pull out the rubber grommet on the outside where the wires go through.
-No run the CB wire on the same path as the brake wire through the tailgate (requires putting your hand in the area of the second black piece you had to pop off)
-Pull the CB wire through the outside of the gate
-Place the rubber grommet back, note where the CB wire is, take the grommet back and snip the corner of it so it will fit around the CB wire.
-Go back to inside of tailgate, zip tie CB wire to brake wire and replace panels.

Sorry, no pictures of all that man.

One weekend I might need to do it. Several folks ask me how I did it. Mounting the CB is all personal choice but everyone has to get the wire outside to the antenna.

How big? I got a midland and mounted it above the rear view:





Requires taking the header apart (not hard at all). There is a write up almost exactly like i did mine on another website but I refuse to even give them the traffic to link it. Anyways, if you think you want to mount there I can walk you through it after work on the phone today. I will be home probably around 4:45 p.m.
