    I keep mine on the roof rack for optimum range. As for the radio, I HIGHLY recommend the cobra 75WXST. The guts fit just fine inside the ebrake console, and then you can remove the mic for theft prevention. Its also pretty cheap, and you can add the guts to other vehicles for like 35 bucks, and share a mic. I have two mics that rotate between the 3 trucks. (VX, RS and F250)

    Mounted mine on my Yakima roof rack, just like Mark did, except mines on the driver's side. And, yes, that is a Pink CB antenna!
    Had my handheld CB/mic combo mounted on the LEFT side of steering wheel, where the rheostat was.

    Hmm, why is it that 2 of us have a certain young lady hanging on our CB antenna???.....Oh, you were away for a while...have you been introduced to Jo's ORW?

    Not CB, but but my Ham antenna is in the same location as Ramz's except that it is mounted to the door.

    Man, they all look sweet, thanx again all for the pic's. You guys have deff... gave me a large choice to select.

    - Does having the antenna on the roof help get a better signal?

    Yes, that's what the CB shops will say. I recall they recommended it be as high as possible and in the center of the roof area as well. Metal on metal was also recommended, but I have a rubber and a nylon washer on each side of my antenna bracket, and a rubbery lining on my mount (to protect finish on my Yakima basket), and I still get good reception.
