CB radio and antenna installed (PITA)

[DJAlan2000]

Where did you get the MOUNT for it? I've been trying to find one that uses the T-tracks on the top of the Bed Cap so I can mount my off road light poles, but it's looking like I may need to just drill out half inch holes on each side to mount the part that the lights 'plug' onto...

I actually made that too. At first I mounted the antenna directly to the cap, but when lowered, the added angle from the cap combined with the ball mounts angle when rotated pushed the antenna outward when stored. The wedge mount is made from 1/8” aluminum plate and then powder cater to match the cap.

Love the custom bracket! So creative.

Btw, we have a spoiler that mounts on top of the rear window, and it’ll nicely cover the hinge bolts too

Hey Urander, I just finished and installed my new rear hatch molle panel (and put back on your air spoiler as asked)! More to come!

Bonding the body panels might also help but I don't even want to think about how painful it would be to do that.

I was thinking if needed some conductive epoxy could be used to bond a terminal to the back side of a stainless steel panel. Then a ground strap can connect it to the frame. At least testing how well they are already bonded is easy. No need to poke holes in paint.
