On a side note this is how I re-installed my CB antenna. I tried it without grounding the carrier itself and it sounded terrible. I grounded the tire carrier to the tub and now sounds like a beaut.

Very good write up. The install came out great. Very professional. I wanted to see it today but slipped my mind.
