Default Mobile Antenna mounts

Anyone have pics of their mobile antenna mounting system. Just bought a
Monkey made and I have a Ford Explorer 2001. I am going to build a
mount that spans my roof rack and I'd like to hear from others who have
done similar stuff.


Get a big, heavy duty mount, and drill a hole!

You may need to add a reinforcing plate if that antenna has a lot
of wind load and the metal is thin. Maybe you can drill through
some support added to the roof. My seven foot Firestik is mounted
to my metal bumper using a Francis heavy duty stud, model M-102.

I've had them stay using the Radio Shack stud, but they don't sell
them anymore. The Firestik dome mounts suck! Had 2 separate on me.
