I can see how that make sense. I just mounted it the way I pulled it but I could rotate it to the side when I get the chance

My son and I drove it up into KY to the Black Mountain OHV park near Harlan,KY for a day trip. Trailed Class 2 and 3 (accidentally found ourselves on a Class 4 trail lost at one point and had to do a big ugly u-turn,being as mine is basically stock,LOL :P ). Didn't hit any real mud holes (LOTS of what I'd call puddles under 6-8" deep),and no real crawling,it's stock :P Had a blast though,we might go back up as a family and camp there this weekend

Here it is lit up. Have a green sleeve over the bulb.

I installed my Firestick Antenna and ran the cable above the moldings that hold up the headliner I'm going to finish wiring the cb and getting it tuned hopefully. Not sure where to mount it though on the passenger side on the center console or on the roof. Above the rear view mirrior...any ideas?

Check your SWR before you try to transmit. Is that the Firestik No Ground Plane kit? If not, you may have trouble getting a good signal.

It's not a no ground plane one. I was looking at that one but I didn't get it as most people told me I would be ok. Yeah I need to check out the swr, I hope I don't have problems with this setup.

How much did that bumper set you back? I like it. Just waiting for the right deal (and for random expenses to stop emptying my wallet).

Worst case scenario, sell what you have and buy the NGP mount, cable, and antenna. But check the SWR first. You might be okay, but don't risk frying your radio by assuming it's fine.

After a while it will give you issue with the hood latch opening caused by the angle.
