4' Firefly on a Quadratec spare tire mount. This is attached to a Cobra 75 and the SWR is 1.5 it's a great setup!

You can also mount on the back side of the license plate holder. That's how I run mine.

I'm running a 2' firestick but the entire 2' is above the roofline. Works great so far.

When I go to twist off the antenna, the connection just rotates inside the spring. I ran that spring for two years with no issue, now it's junk. Going to a quick disconnect now,

Anyway...enough of that, this is an antenna thread ;-)

Oh, and I'll be doing Toad's homemade antenna holder mod that goes inside, above the rear window
Can some one please give me the thread to that mod?
