    Sounds like my tri-mag mount setup thats on my 94 Jeep Grand Cherokee. Using some 1" long 3/4" pvc pipe unions, I raised it up 1' & put a 90° stud on it & topped it off with a Breedlove quick disconnect using a Monkey Made MM9, the best part is the super big 1/4" Monkey Made whip doesn't flex at all at 80+ mph & the tri-mag mount is so strong I have to use a small pry bar wrapped in a rag to prise the magnets up off the roof. Just using it until warm weathet gets here & I can puck the roof and install my dual antenna bounce back setup like one of these Jeeps. Heres a picture of my tri-mag mount.

    Very nice beavis. I had an old aluminum coil antenna. I borrowed it off my uncle. Not sure what brand it was tho. It looked like a predator single coil antenna and it had an american flag print all the way around the center piece of where the whip went into. (It is a crappy description but oh well lol)

    He keeps saying he's going to put it on his pickup but he's not made any progress. Probably going to buy it soon

    I'm running a single 5.5 foot FireStik FS-5 with no trouble at all. I'm able shoot skip and talk to locals with no problems. You can view some of my pictures and see my setup. BTW.. My SwR's are good with my setup... 1.1 just as low as my dads Wilson 5000.

    Good luck.

    I forgot to mention that FireStiks FS-5 are top load antennas, and they work great in the location I have my mounted because 1/3 of the antenna is above the roof and the coil is at the top of the antenna. I replaced the white whip with a black one. I let the wife pick the first one... Mistake!!! Get the white one, it matches the truck.. Black looks way better. I sent the white antenna to my dad. He loves it..

    I'm a predator guy all the way. I ran a double coil short whip when I used to drive a box truck. Had it on a trimag worked great! Also had a bad to the bone on a 22inch shaft on my caddy and that kicked ass. Ask high voltage, he knows and I plan on puck mounting two of them on the Yukon when it comes home next month. Amazing rec and xmit gains and super easy to tune!
    619 the Chef, choppin' lips and deep-frying those ducks in the Yellin' Yukon and I'm gone...

    This is the reason why this site is the sheeeeit. Everyone in here has a different flavor. I would have ran a predator, but needed a 30" shaft to get the coil above the roof line of my truck. The top load tune able tip solved that for me. It was easy to tune and has 1.1 SwR's. Those are the 2 reasons why I run the FireStik. They are also rated for 1k, which I'll never max out.

    The CB world is like a mixed bowl of ice cream, it's up to you to pick the flavor and enjoy it one spoonful at a time.
