I mounted mine to my spare tire carrier..........
The picture doesn't show it, but there is a spring loaded quick disconnect(push down,and twist) in between the two antenna springs, so I can take it off when I want to drop my spare down, to get my hatch open.
The cable runs out of a body plug down at the bottom of the inside of the rear quarter, where my trailer wire harness runs out of the same plug. I sealed the area where they run through with silicone.
I am running a Firestik II(can't remember the length)
Here's a few more pictures of it mounted from different angles.

I love it ( after I figured it out) learning older tech from some older guys and playing around but it's a great radio I have about a 4 mile range. I can talk to the truck stop up the hwy

What antenna do you have? I'm hoping for a bit further than that, although it isn't really necessary. I got a 5' Firestik

I mounted my cb antenna in the spot the radio antenna goes. I never had a radio antenna as I never listen to the radio as I have my iPhone/Pandora so thought it be a good spot. Oh and it's a Firestick II three footer
