    So you’re saying your website is incorrect? Driver side is not backed ordered, correct? If I place an order it will be shipped because they are good in stock, right? Thx for the info.

    Does this mount have enough clearance so that it will fit with an average fiberglass camper shell (Leer 100xr) installed? I’m looking to purchase one just worried that it won’t fit with a shell installed. Thank you!

    It was designed for use with the shell mutable people run them with the shell. Not sure about a of them but lots of people have them with a shell.

    Is your CB working good? I tried tuning mine today and the SWR levels are in the red. Not too sure what to do.

    Isn't the mount a good ground?

    That's not our mount. And you need to have metal in metal contact to ground so split washers or something that cuts into the coating to ground it.

    I should've got your mount instead! Should I move the plastic washer to the bottom? I read that it was specifically supposed to be on top. I shaved off the paint on top around the stud but that didn't help.

    The guy above seems to have the same setup as me? But with your mount.

    Try grounding the antenna directly to the frame and see if that works. If that doesn't work your mount is not the problem.

    Take a wire and attach it from the frame to the antenna.
