Most of us run a 3' or 4' Firestik antenna.

For what it's worth, I've got a 4' Wilson flex antenna. I really dig it. The firestiks I've read require a flex mount since they're rigid whereas the Wilson goes with the flow on the trails.

Plus, I looked on radio and trucker forums and Wilson got the best reviews.

Thanks for your help looks like i will be going with the wilson flex. Does the terraflex mount require a stud to adapt the antenna?

I'm completely goofy about what's needed and lucky enough to have a local CB shop. I picked up the 3rd kit from here:

Came with this bracket which looks like the Teraflex but for sure has the stud.

This was the antenna that came with the kit.

For me, it was the best option as it had everything. I just had to buy a CB (which I got from him) and then ordered a CB mount for the footman loop of the freedom tops. All in all, I think I came in at ~$200. Install was good but I had to run the coax up the roll bar padding because I was about 6" short if I ran it through the carpet. Also, the Rugged Ridge CB mount for the footman loop does shake with my Bearcat 880. I'm assuming it'd shake less with a smaller CB.

In the office now but I'll try to snap a pic or two at lunch.
