Question CB Radio Antenna Help

I'm not sure if I'm posting this in the right section, so feel free to move it if its not...
But I was given this antenna mount today from a friend, and I have no idea how and where I can put it. Any idea? Pictures would be great if anyone has the same one!

Thanks a lot!

I'm guessing u don't have a roof rack ..other wise I'm sure it would of been obvious to u..but I have seen people mount them on their tail light screws ..just use the L bracket.
me on the other hand have mine on my roof rack..oh and u can also screw it on to your rear bumper on the side ..that's how my friend has it..I'll try and get a pic for u..

I just put mine on the quarter. If you take out the tail light on either side there is an opening to get to the backside so you can just drill holes and bolt it up. I did it with the top of the mount right on the body line. It looks good but the only downfall to it is you'll have holes in your quarter panel if you ever take the mount off? I'm not too worried about that cuz my jeep is far from "pretty" but if it's a clean jeep I say go with the L bracket. The only downfall the the bumper is the hatch may not open depending on where you put it.

Oh and flip the bolts around from what the picture show.

I have that same mount, although I only used half of it.

Here's what i did with mine:


Bought a piece of steel, cut, bent, and drilled. Bolted the antenna mount to it.
