After working with this mount for a week, here's my mini-review:
Tereflex cb mount is very solid. The angle of the top plate is a bit slanted...very slightly. I think a better bracket design would be that of a question mark, rather than an upside down L. Because of the L design, I cannot easily mount/dismount the antenna from the base. On my rubi, the tire comes back just enough to rub the antenna, making it impossible to disconnect (with or without my K1A quick disconnect). Question mark design would move it towards the window enough that this would not be an issue.
Mounting was easy, 2 bolts and your done.
Powder coat looks great, but needs to be sanded/grinded off in order to ground properly. It would be nice if the tabs where the mounting bolts are were just left unpowdercoated.

Ok.....I am thinking of the following items from Walcott to build my CB system....Already have a basic Cobra radio..
1.JKCBM- Jeep Wrangler CB Antenna Mount Spare Tire Rack
2. FL4B ] Firestik Flexible 4 foot Ant. (BLACK, flexible, tunable
3. K48R18 -18 Foot Fire-Flex Coax w/ Fire-Ring Connector to PL259 connector & Stud
I have my doubts about the cable. I have never done this before and am hoping to get all items before installation. What else do I need? Ground Strap? How will I install that with this setup? Anyone done it? Picutures? Please help...

I kind of like the mount from Arizona Rocky Road because it does sit higher and I can more easily take the antenna off. I ordered their Firestik COAX and connector but ended buying a two foot Wilson antenna (just because I found it locally).
After seeing it, I have to say I like the teraflex / wallcot mount - the Rocky Road mount uses washers to handle the spacing between the mount and the tire carrier (because of the raised lip) whereas it looks like the teraflex one has that piece welded on. Not a big deal but a slightly cleaner design. I would like to see the teraflex mount design with the pole the rocky road one has. Seems like the price is about the same - maybe a hair more for the teraflex.
I don't have a great pic of mine - but you can kind of see it - they have better pics on their web site - so far I like the mount.

I got one of these mounts from Wallcot CB. Be sure you remove the powdercoating from around the bolts and the ant. mounting hole. I did not do this at first and the CB did not work at all. I checked the ground at the mount and it was non-existent. After I removed the powdercoating it worked fine.
It's a very nice mount, real sturdy and fits perfect.

I see there are two antenna holes on top. Why? Which one did you choose?
Thanks,
