    Now that I've come off the road , there is already a radio in the day cab I slip seat in . So I have a couple cbs just sitting on the bench in my garage I want to put the stryker in my Chrysler Pacifica and if you can imagine I don't really want to drill any hole in the roof , I already have a monkey made Antena and just want to see if anyone has used a mag mount for an antenna that size

    I wouldn't use a Monkey Made on a thin sheet metal roof, but here you go.

    The monkey made antenna might be okay for a tractor trailer with heavy duty mirror brackets but this is what I do recommend for a sheet metal roof[​IMG]

    I have the Tram 269 mount, use it with the 102 on my car.

    I also have the identical MFJ mount, but the coax failed on that one.
