CB antenna tube mounts?

I've tried searching, and couldn't find what I was looking for, so here goes:

I want to mount my cb antenna to my rear Marlin bumper on my 4Runner. I DO NOT want to drill into my body panels. Any one have any suggestions/products that I can't seem to find?

this option is pretty stout:

up to 3" tubing:

personally I would weld a tab or fender washer on the bumper and call it good...

This is how I mounted an antenna on my '85:

I used to have it mounted on my old rear bumper, but like it better on the body as it gets a better ground plane:

I accept a 2", well, 1.8" tube on my bonanza and would like to arise my antenna there. All the mounts I can acquisition are for 3" tubes. Does anyone know a source for a 2" diameter?

what exactly is a Bonanza (other than a cool old western from the 60's)?

edit: if you would have read post #3 you would have seen this link:

select the diameter you need and order

I just got a light tab welded on the rear corner of my bumper. It works great and only cost me 5 bucks.
