Is there anything else I need or should this be good? I already have an antenna mount on my teraflex 3rd brake light bracket.

Also get an SWR meter as you will need to tune it. If the radion comes with one built in, they don't work very well compared to the stand alone $15 ones.

Looks like you only need one thing: Some braided strap to bond your tailgate. You've got radio, antenna, antenna mount, feedline. The radio comes with it's own mounting bracket. I'd add a couple feet of braided strap and call it a day.

When you are riding trails with a group out of cell phone range, you need a CB. It's a safety thing.

you're missing the stud mount which attaches to the antenna mount which you're also missing.
