This is what I did with mine. As long as you paint it with the antenna in situ you'll be fine with the ground. Third Brake Light Bracket

So here it is installed. I went to the local truck stop and naturally they didn't have the Wilson I was looking at and I knew they didn't carry firesticks.... So I did the next bet thing started talking I truckers and the pointed out a Francis hot rod. It was $18 bucks so I figured worth a try... Worst case I end up ordering what I want. Then wouldn't ya know it 3 truck stops later still now SWR meter!! Pissed me off dragging twin 4 year olds around anymore so I came home and installed it. Now I can't use it till I find a meter! But it's in and went smoothly once I got the black plastic off the inside of the tailgate.

No such thing this time around soft top only.... I have it turned on but nothing so far. Gonna swing out by the highway see if I can hear anything. Don't wanna transmit and fry my radio. Thought I would have picked something up at least. Hope this works.

Yeah without a swr meter I'm dead in the water. Went to the highway and still nothing... Even tried a quick radio check. And nothing.... Next thing is try and run a ground and see if anything picks up? I'll take any suggestions...
