I thought I’d be cool and mount my cb with a Motobilt mount that mount in the middle of the tailgate, it works like crap, where do people mount antennas on TJ’s ?
That's what I have. Made it easy to get a good ground to the tub. Ground a little paint off, sealed it up. Works great.
Maybe run a separate ground strap from the tailgate to the tub if you really wanted to?You might not have a good enough ground at the antenna or the tailgate to the tub or both also.
That's what I did with mine that's mounted to the Gen-Right tire carrier, it has rubber bushings isolating it from the tub.Maybe run a separate ground strap from the tailgate to the tub if you really wanted to?
Grounds and clean connections make a huge difference. I'm mounting mine on the driver's side rear where the PO had four holes drilled and I have been meaning to seal those up.Maybe run a separate ground strap from the tailgate to the tub if you really wanted to?

Thanks for the reply,I know it’s in a bad spot but hey IM A 2!! lolThat's adequate and shouldn’t damage any radio equipment.
I never said it was a bad spot, really you need to balance pragmatism vs purism. I’m okay with my radio not going 15miles as long as my group within 300 ft or so either way is good enough for most my needs.Thanks for the reply,I know it’s in a bad spot but hey IM A 2!! lol
