Great video. Thanks for clarifying the ring and terminal wiring connections for me. It might seem elementary for most but I needed that.
-
Exactly the information and instruction I was looking for. Thank you!!
-
Great video! Also the spot light on the truck. Need more videos. Thank you.

Very good video. I know not all people have soldering irons or soldering skills, however, soldering of ring terminals/connections is preferred over crimping. Crimp connections tend to loosen over time in a mobile application (i.e. road vibration, cable flexing). It's also kind of nice if you need to remove the terminal, because it can be heated with the iron and removed without causing any damage to the cable or connector.

The CB on line sellers/stores/shops in GB are calling this a hatch mount for some reason. Bonnet mount seems more logical! An antenna mount designed to clamp onto the hatch of a hatchback car, but can also be fitted to doors, boots,

I’m surprised it works right so close to the windshield I’ve got 2 trucks with those mounts , a 2019 Silverado and a 2015 Ford f-250 and both of mine had to be further out from the windshield to get a low swr. I’ve got 55” Hustler hq27s on both of mine and they’ve never budged either.

I bet that light makes that radio go crazy with static when you turn it on
-
Thank you, it helped me.
-
Thank you for this video, I do have one question for you. Where did you feed the cable thru the firewall?
-
Such a good video. So many questions answered and I know exactly what I'm looking for now. You rock.
-
nice work!
-
Thank you for this video, do you have a video where you installed those light. Also where did you find the brackets for them?
-
I dunno, I got a setup just like this and tried EVERYTHING to get my swr below 3 and NOTHING lowers it. Different coax different radio, different mounts in the same place, no change. Somehow, i keep getting about 20 mega ohms between the connections, but that's not a dead short so I guess that's alright too.

Where'd you get the LED light mound?!
-
This seems like exactly what I'm looking for, as I also have a 1st Gen Tundra. What antenna did you use? Or will any antenna work with this mount?
-
Since you installed this mount, have the screws loosened up due to vibration, or have they stayed put?
-
Thanks for the video what is the length of your antenna? Thanks
-
Don't you have interference problems because the CB antenna is placed so close to an LED projector?
-
How do I get the cable through the fiat punto dashboard, drill a big hole?
-
I like it, but I want my antenna on the roof like my VHF/UHF NMO. Anybody know any good mounts for up there?
