Kinda sorta fab, I am making it even though it's not a big project. I didn't want a run of the mill bumper/taillight mount. Since I dumped the radio so I could install my cb in the space I didn't need the radio attenna. So geuss where the CB attenna will go.



Just after welding and grinding.



Mock up of wher I will be placing it. I will have a backe plate that the mount will attach to behind the fender. more to come.....

 

alot of work. .but at least your smart enough to reinforce it and not just drill the hole bigger like some hack jobs on here would lol

 

I wanted it strong. I'll be using a 4' firestick with a spring. Plus it's a great project for a begining welder. Yesterday I had two tabs pop off on a drop test I did. I didn't have any penetration with the weld. So I'll try again in a few min., maybe turn the heat up some.

 

Here is where I am now;



I know the welds are pretty darn fuggly, but I'm getting much needed practice. My welder went on the fritz this morning. The contact tip got clogged and I don't have any tip cleaners. So I have to get some tip cleaners and some spare contact tips.

 

updates? Im curious how this will turn out, I am starting my own custom CB install this week

 

I got tied up working alot of OT, but I did get my welder fixed, which is good. I decided to do a drop test on my mount and two of my tabs popped off, no penotration. I have tomorrow off so I'll reweld the tabs and get the thing mounted on the ZJ.
