Frontrunner has a black fold down antenna mount. Not sure if it can be modified to work on a non Frontrunner rack.
You are asking about a CB antenna. Rhino Rack makes a fold down antenna mount for such an antenna. It is pricey at over $ 80.00.

This is not a cb-antenna.
This is one of those 4G Boost antennas and it looks like a short broom stick, 2.5' high and about 1" thick.
So it needs about a 3/4" hole on a flat plate that can fold down.
I'll post a pic soon.

OK the picture you posted looked like a CB antenna . A 3/4 hole is called a NMO mount.
What make antenna is that ?

It's an Australian antenna . Looks like most guy down under mount this on the front bumper.
I'd buy one from Amazon and see if it will work. Perhaps have to drill it out. If after eyeballing it and it wont work just send it back.

Bull bar or off road front bumper. If you go for bull bar make sure you get one that has more than two attach points. Westin or other crap only attach from the bottom. Causes a lot of vibration and as well any small accident this stuff will cause more damage. Get something like I have (picture). It is Toyota brand from Australia. It attaches in four points and have mounting places for lights and antennas.

Diamond antenna has folding mounts that should accomodate the antenna, they make an so239 or 3/8" for roof racks.
The higher the better if it works for you to be mounted on the roof rack.
