I am still bored. After the last trail run, it became apparent that a roof mount magnetic CB antenna base was no match for low lying tree branches. I wanted to see if any of it would be reusable before I went and purchased a side mount like Marios. So, I started with this
I took it apart, used a flat bracket from the hardware store, drilled one of the holes larger, and fit everything together. This is what I ended up with.
Lower on the truck and screwed down tight to the body. Shouldn't have any more wackage problems
