Won't that decrease the signal range? (clearly I'm new at this but I'd like to hear more about this method of mounting)

What kind of range do you get with your antenna down? I only use my cb when wheeling with other people so short range should be good enough if not its easy to change.

Might be a bit of the old hose stuck to the metal fitting. Also, believe it or not, you can cause a leak by overtightening hose clamps.

Installed a 1" tcase drop because I had a little vibration on acceleration and it is the last thing I can think of to fix, and now the minimum vibrations I had are gone. For the first time ever I dont have anything to fix on my jeep. Well anything realistic, other than more mods...
