FWIW, as I understand it, CB antennas work best mounted on the roof, as far away from body sheetmetal as possible.
I see from your gallery that you have a roof rack & it wouldn't be too difficult to fab a round (or square) piece of 1/8" steel plate of slightly larger diameter than a magnetic base. Then drill a couple holes & bolt it to the center of the rack.
Just throwin' out another option before you start drilling holes in body sheetmetal...
Hope to see you in Moab !!!
