CB antenna mount

[Axel]

I need to permanently mount a CB antenna to the wife's Freelander. I was using a glass mounted one for a while, but wasn't crazy about the performance. Also, the glue melted in Death Valley....
Anyone have pictures of their CB antenna mounting solutions they want to share?

Axel, you could probably get away with using a 10-meter antenna mount if you're not using a fiberglass whip-style antenna.

Ham radio shops have all sorts of cool antenna mounting options for vehicles like the Freelander.

I'm using that antenna mount for my 2m/440 antenna up on my roof rack, but it is rated to handle antennas up to 45" long, so that should be plenty of mount for a wire CB antenna. It uses the same PL-259 connector that CB antennas use, so compatibility shouldn't really be an issue.

If that mount doesn't do it for you, then you could consider a lip mount antenna, like these:

I suggest taking a trip to the local amateur radio shop and taking a look at them first hand to see if they'd work for you.

Axel,
Mount it on the tire carrier just like most do on the Disco. I have pictures posted in the freelander section if you want to see what it looks like. Everything mounted up the same way and I even had used my bracket from my 96D1.
