Hello, im looking to install a CB here fairly soon, and im trying to find a decent mount for the center of the roof. (I have a 90 XJ)
I found this one:

What do you guys think about it? Do you have some other suggestions?
Another question i have is about antenna length. Most of what i have read on this site say that the antenna is mounted to the rear around the tail light area with an average of a 6' antenna. Since im going to be mounting mine on the roof, what is a good length?
4'? I dont "plan" on using this for anything other then communicating with other wheelers when need be. Im sure it would be nice to have something all powerfull in the event of a huge emergency, but i doubt it will be ever used that way. I figure since its on the roof, ill go ahead and get a quick disconnect also.
Ideas, and suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Thanks for your time.
