CB rear mount scarce.....

[COGerding]

I use one of these at the rear.

FireStik SS-204A Adjustable stainless steel vertical door jamb mount Amazon.com: FireStik SS-204A Adjustable stainless steel vertical door jamb mount: Cell Phones & Accessories

With a little massaging, I mounted it where a labrak mount would go without any drilling.

If you really want a labrak mount, I believe cruiserparts.net also sells them.

Hi @LEX - when you say "massaging" what did you wind up doing? I've got the part and am playing with fitment now. Looks like you may have bent it? Did you use both screws that are part of the rubber hatch stop? My bracket doesn't line up with the holes - looks like I can only get one screw thru to mount.

Thanks for any insight.

Following to also see what you did with the Firestik mount. Just ordered one yesterday.

I hammered the mount straight and I mounted it to the body using the top screw from the rubber stop. The bottom hole of the mount didn't line up so I cut just enough off to be able to screw the bottom of the rubber back in. It's very secure.

Re: The Insain Fab 4Runner antenna mount mentioned above, I found it needed a bit more than just a little trimmimg of the body mount tab. It interfered with my lift gate until I put a pretty specific bend in it. Also, after all the trimming and bending, I just kept going until it ended up more low profile like the LabRak mount that I originally wanted.


Ran the antenna coax down and under the body, then made a grommet out of a pass-through beneath and behind the rear bumper so I didn't have to pinch it through the tailgate weather seal.

Hey! I know this is an old thread, but where did you get that braided antenna cord? and is there a nice 'google-able' name for that wire tie?

Sorry for the late reply; haven't been on MUD much these days.

The antenna cord is Wilson brand. Find it on their website.

What wire tie are you referring to?

Turned out ok for a $15 mount.

Old thread but I'm curious how this was grounded? I don't see a ground wire/strap and am about to do the same setup. Open to anybody because I see Lex hasn't been on in a couple of months.
