Has anyone modified the triangular OEM antenna mounts to fit to a Firestik or Wilson fiberglass antenna? I think it would look slick to have the OEM stereo antenna on the passengers fender AND an OEM mounted CB antenna on the drivers fender.

Any ideas on how to do this?

Well with CB, height is might as they say so starting down low isn't the best. That said I have seen the 1' or so windshield glass mount CB antennas work fairly good in the bush. They would likely screw on to a mount like the stock one if it even unscrews. There are multiple adapter pieces out there for that.

The short ones work good enough to rescue a lost broken down Jeeper in the middle of nowhere in the Canadian bush when we didn't even know he was there once. He was trying to find us on a run I organized and lost his rear driveshaft on the wrong trail when his recent spring lift shifted back on him. (re-used U-bolts eh) He heard us OK all around him, but only one of us could hear him back, the one with the antique 21 Channel boosted unit that happened to be closest to him anyway, so she sat on a hill and the rest of us spread out until someone else got close enough to pick him up direct. We found him fast then and got him back running fast.

That said, give me a 4' anyway, I have mine on the mirror arm and it works well. My old 21 ch CB also picked him up when I got close to the 'spotter' on the hill.

Good point. I was really looking for that finished stock look when locating the antenna. I actually have an 8' wip mounted on the back for ORV flag, but didn't want to run the cable to the front of the cab. I was thinking with a single mount on the side of the fender I could punch a hole right thru to the cab and to the CB unit.

I have a 77 cj5 and used the top spare tire bracket as my mounting bracket. Just drilled a hole in top of the bracket and installed the mount and spring with a 4' firestick. Works great and looks great.
