got a good radio, great cords, nice k40 antenna. right now i have it just behind the cab and welded a small bracket to the top of the bed. and it just will NOT tune in. i read that its possibly because its to close to the cab because when i remove it, it will tune it... where did you guys mount your antennas?

 

I usually mount them on the tool box in a truck, but I have also used magnet roof mounts. I have also seen people attach them to the rear bumper, I haven't ever done this, but it may be something you are interested in.

 

I've seen them on the rear bumper corner. If you have a whip, you can mount it to the rear bumper and bend it forward and attatch it to the front of the bed. I also have seen them mounted to the center hole on roll bars between the lights and I have a cap that I just put roof racks on, I'd mount it to the roof rack.

 

I have mine mounted to the front of my bed seems to works well I dont use mine for long ranges only about 3 or 4 miles at max most of the time its just for when we are in to woods.

 

fk1022 in the NC dodge club mounted his on his front bumper, scroll down to the bottom

ive seen whips around me mounted on the back bumper and bent over and tied down on the front bumper lol, also seen them snap loose in a parking lot for no reason and smack a car behind it lol

 

I've been looking at getting a CB as well and have been thinking about mounting places. I found a 3' off road antenna and thought that the best places would be on the rear bumper or using a bracket that goes between the hood and front fender if that makes sense.
