Antenna Mount on rear bumper
Hi,
Does anyone here have their CB antenna mounted on one of the corners of their rear bumper?
I've seen this setup before some places.
What do you guys think? Looks ok? Looks lame?
also, hows the reception there?
thanks

It's not a terribly efficient location for an antenna and it's hard to get a good match when it's mounted there. Because putting it on the bumper means a significant section of antenna is only inches away from metal, i.e. the tailgate, it's generally not a recommended location.

I put the antenna on my VW pickup on the rear bumper. It works OK for what I use it for:
