Glen,Where did you mount the connector for the mic/radio.You cant see it in the picture.Also did you opt for the ext. speaker or can you hear it ok sitting in the custom dash mount.

Has anyone discovered if the roof mounted lights will interfere with this installation? I know it was brought up but how it turned was not mentioned.

I also have a sunroof so I'm pretty sure I will be unable to set the lightbar back to allow for the antenna installation first.

Any feedback. This is a nice set-up that I want to duplicate but want to make sure I will not run in to problems.

Thanks all...

Phil. Thanks, great info.

Curious, do you have a sunroof on your H2? If I follow the Antenna still needs to be mounted in front of the lightbar to allow for running the wiring. My other concern more than actually the antenna position when angled down is if the offset on the lightbar will interfere with the sunroof.

The other idea is that I will be installing an SMA Tire Carrier shortly and I was thinking I could just mount an antenna on that asssembly somehow.

Picture would be great and thanks again for the info...

Great info. Thanks again. I completely misread the info about where the antenna cable tracks up to the sidemarkers. I think I will just shoot for an install behind the light bar.

Again, Thanks!

Does that antenna click into place when up or down or does it just swing free?

Thanks for the info. I'm going to my local radio shop on Monday to get the parts. I'm going with the Cobra 75 aswell. Was it hard to run the wire through the top light? Will I have to peel back some trim or will I be able to fish the cable through with a fish line?

I got most of my parts today. Had to order the SS-J4 mount. My dealer didn't have that exact one in stock. When I attached that fold down connector to the antenna, it seems to interfer with the folding motion. There is a ground lead comming off the antenna and it's that lead that stops the folding ring from moving freely. Did you have the same issue, should I cut that lead off?

There is a small gauge wire that comes off the antenna. I thought this was the standard for ones that have a tunable tip. It is supposed to be grounded to the antenna clamp only if you cannot get a low SWR reading on Channels 1 and 40. I assume this is something to do with matching the antenna. I'm a novice when it comes to CB's.

I will check with my CB shop about that wire. I originally wanted the FS2, but he was out of stock. So I ended up getting the Wilson KW2 which looks just like the FS2. It was more expensive, the dealer told me its a better antenna. Do you have the Cobra 75? If so, where did you mount the antenna connector box?
