Problem with SWR

ok,Ive beat my head against the wall for over an hour.Everything seems to be grounded properly and installed properly but my SWR's are off the scale.I mean my radio pegs the needle on the meter and yes.the meter is set correctly.
Any suggestions or ideas???

Where's it mounted? How's it mounted?

Maybe check all the coax for cuts, kinks, etc.

Nevermind.
I knew it had to be something simple I was overlooking.
Turns out the isolator bushing on the mount was shorting out

Now the whole setup is ROCKING!!!

If you guys want a killer radio thats clean and LOUD,someone to answer all your silly questions,excellent prices,fast shipping,and TOP NOTCH CUSTOMER SERVICE,you need to send me an e mail for contact info for Chris at CBR Electronics!

These guys are fantastic!!
I was talking skip to Jamaica,Florida,Texas,California like they were in my backyard!!
Im a happy camper now!!

Az storm! Nice talking man. Sounds like you got a great station coming out of your toyota! Good contacts. Maybe I'll catch you in there when the conditions are good.
If you hear Yota-167 Central Buckeye Mobile you'll know it's me in there. Channel 26 AM is my typical skip channel.
