besides the K-40s, one of the most popular magmounts with the real hardcore CB users are the Wilson magmounts. The Wilson 1000 and 5000 series antennas can take a LOT of abuse and handle a LOT of power, more than you'll be able to put through them without breaking the law or some serious upgrades to your electrical system (like dual or even triple deep cycle batteries, dual alts, etc...).
They stick like crazy, most of the 4-wheelers that go mudding here use them on their p/u trucks and 4Runners with no problem, including bashing them into tree limbs, etc... (the whips are very flexible, like the K-40).
They're readily available at many online shops, too.
just an alternative to the K-40 mag mount, if they're hard to find where you are.
firestiks are good, i've used those in the past. easy to tune, easy to mount, although they are somewhat limited in the height you can use with a magmount (i think they say no more then a 3 foot firestik on their mag mount base).
skipshooters are good too, if you like the wound fiberglass antennas, also tunable at the tip.
i have a 102" whip on our 4Runner's back bumper. i've tried the firestiks and the skipshooters, but i still keep going back to my trusty 102" whip - it bends more than the fiberglass antennas, so i don't have to worry about low branches and stuff.
