Hello again. I was wondering if it would be safe to use a liquid bolt locking solution to keep my antenna placed on it's mount. My antenna keeps wiggling itself loose and I've tried tightening it but I've had to replace the adapter twice because it got stripped out.

Using Loc-Tite or other liquid lock?

To be honest with you, I don't like the tire carrier idea at all. Your bolts are coming loose because there is too much motion.
But using a lock solution won't hurt the antenna if you keep the coax connector free of it.

OK. Same objection for the same reason. Maybe follow the lock washer advice from M. and see what that does.
If it were my truck, I would just go ahead and put a ball-mount and spring on it. But if you con't want to drill holes you can use a bumper mount. Even with the short antenna. Blocking the signal won't be that much of a problem.

I would but you need a metal washer on top of the nylon one (the lock washer would dig into that nylon washer after a while) and it won't all fit on the stud.
Different types of locktite - make sure you use the right one.
It goes by thread size - use the wrong type and will either not work or will work so well it can be called "lock-glue".
