Where could I mount my CB antenna on my Tracker? I have tried one of those windshield/fake cell phone deals, but they don't work too good. I have thought about behind the spare on the spare mount. I know CBs went out with BJ and the Bear, but I still like them, and mines collecting dust.

i am going to put one on next year, and i am gong to get the 3' ones that have the spiral in them like truckers use. they are popular around here. i am thinking of running a mount out from under the hood on each side where there is that more open space tward the rear of the hood. just an idea 8) i have see an 8' one off the left corner of the rear bumper too that looked good...
-
I got mine mounted on my spare tire mount.
I'll take some pics for you later.

I have mine coming off my spare tire carrier bolt. I used a simple 1" angle piece, drilled 2 holes in the different planes. I added a flat spacer to keep the bracket off the paint. I ran the cable under the swing door and haven't had a problem, opening or closing. I think I have pics in the webshots.
As for the cb itself, it's a small Uniden unit sitting on top of the parking brake handle. Haven't figured a nice place for it yet.
-
If I were to get one of those firestick thingers (coiled wire) antenaes, does it have to be a certain distance above the vehicle, or could it be mounted on the fender below the hood so that it only sticks up about a foot and still get a good signal?
-
I have always been told the higher up on the vehicle, the better signal.
-
That's what I always thought... but overhanging branches scare me... I've already knocked my snorkel loose more than once :-/
-
i just mounted jens on her back door beside the tire carrier, its a 6 foot fire stick tho lol, doesnt look bad atall actually, just looks really funny if you have it dead center on the tracker, which i didnt do lol..

Dude, CB Radios are the best! I want to get one because as far as I can tell it is probably the best form of communication on the planet.
My gf's stepdad is really big on CB and Ham Radio. He's got one mounted on his Pathfinder on the roof.

lol... you ever get any grief from cops driving it on the road, or is it towed only?
-
I do know one thing- get your CB in a pawn shop, paid $10 for mine, its a Uniden and works fine, most shops will give ya 30 days warranty.
