Thought I'd share a picture of the setup I use my on 4 wheeler. Until 2 weeks ago I was using a thinner, 48" "Freightliner" brand fiberglass antenna, but I rolled the 4 wheeler over and it snapped the stud mount and the antenna both, so I just put my spare Firestik on it.
Added a mic hanger so the mic won't come bouncing off and dangle in the mud any more. The radio is just a little Cobra 19 Ultra III from Wal-Mart. Probably the cheapest Cobra radio you can buy, but for what it is I'm pretty happy. It has been rained on, snowed on, the mic has been dangled in the mud, and the 4 wheeler landed on top of it when it rolled over, and it still works just fine. It obviously doesn't do as good as the 148 GTLs I have in the house and the cars, but I figured hey, if I tear it up going off road on a 4 wheeler, I'm out $20-$30 if I buy one brand new.
