Run a ground wire from the tool box to the frame.

[@rockybartoy]

glad to see you still doing good..

[@themrgardner]

Thank you!

[@GroundControl204]

Cool video, waving from my tech bench. 73👋🏻

[@netnhamradio]

You have less noise when you wire to the battery, trust me I've done the same thing. Otherwise looks great! Look into quick-connects for power

[@paulcarcamo6992]

Thank you for sharing. Good installation.

[@barrongardner357]

Love your videos. Keep it up!

[@themrgardner]

Thank you Mr. Gardner!

[@riverdragon1980]

I assume you dont have deep enough water attractions to risk your electrical. I went with a junction block set up under the dash for power.

[@themrgardner]

It might see some mud and water every once and a while but I usually try not to get it in bad water holes

[@RJD0314]

Good, detailed video. Thanks for sharing! Looks good. Im thinking about mounting my antenna like that now. Do you notice any signal loss due to ot being so much lower than the cab?

[@themrgardner]

Honestly, I don’t have any complaints if anything I pick up too much stuff sometimes haha

[@jamesvw769]

Dude that is a very poor install for the antenna and will not give you very good results.

[@themrgardner]

Say what you want but it works good for me!

[@zachr7086]

Why make a response like that and not give a way to improve??

[@johnemmons9087]

Good job! God bless you!

[@dawsonhorst_]

what for taillights you got?

[@themrgardner]

Spyder, I painted them to match the truck. Me and my friend did the paint match!

[@firefighterrobert134]

What antenna are you running, lookin for a similar one that whips around a lot

[@crxzycapplotjay5943]

Yoo were did you get ur back seat rug from ??

[@Houston_sides]

Where did you get that cab antenna

[@drew.w.w162]

What size antenna

[@themrgardner]

102”

[@masonkight8757]

I need just that cable

[@themrgardner]

I believe they sell it!

[@themrgardner]

[@dguiley]

What cable was that? I got one from them and it doesn’t have the terminal ends like that on it. Also, they told me I’d need an NGP antenna for mounting on my headache rack. Honestly not sure if that’s necessary or not.

[@colecardelli6833]

where you get them seat covers at man?

[@themrgardner]

Sportsman camo covers! I have a video doing a review on them if you are interested!

[@sirot5561]

I know you left the App but we miss you on tiktok 😢

[@themrgardner]

I enjoyed making TikToks, there guidelines were so strict I couldn’t post what I wanted any more and I made a new account and it wouldn’t let me follow anyone

What do you do for a living, I swear it looks like you vacuum that carpets daily lmao

This is the absolute wrong way to do a 102 inch whip... absolutely wrong !!! ,u never want to mount the 102 in this location ..u want the base of the antenna to be above the cab ..yes it's tuff to achieve ... Putting the 102 on the bumper is not good idea .. there best performance is above the counter poise or the vehicle the flat plane of the metal With that being said it's hard to do and not always possible ..but your blocking the ability for the antenna to have a proper deflection point ...

[@davidrichter9164]

That's because you don't know what you're doing Justin. Try again buddy.

[@dukeone224]

You clearly do not understand the proper way to mount an antenna. The base of the antenna needs to be above the metal side on the toolbox- or much closer to the top! It would be best mounted to the side of the cab on the truck and fairly close to the top of the vehicle. If you look at old photos from the 60s and 70s of police cars you will find these quarter wave low band antennas mounted on the side of a vehicle or on the top of a trunk cowling.

[@themrgardner]

I’d prefer not to drill a hole in my truck. Also being on the side of the tool box can be an inconvenience when trying to access tools.

[@TyroneBrown-dv3lu]

You can tell that he doesn't know anything about cb radio,why you asked,, because just look at the coax cable,. that tells me everything I need to know,.👎

Who hurt you lesjones? It's ok, it's a safe place here. Please get some help for your self righteous complex.
