yeah, non grounded you can mount anywhere.

what im wondering is how well this would work for a 94 4runner with the door damb mount in the tailgate and a cobra 29 radio with preamp and super swing kit?

would this be a good antenna setup for that radio or would a magnet antenna on the roof work better?

The magnetic mount antennas dont give you guite the same reception as a larger antenna.
