I wanted to mount it on the roof, but I caught static about it. Personally I think 8ft on the roof of an s10 is awesome.

Now, to get the resonance adjusted I changed the orientation of the spring mount and tilted it toward the toolbox that leaned the antenna more over the cab and hood. Closing the gap between the spring and toolbox lid it would take it into a -j. Also inside the toolbox there is a plate that covers the latching system. Behind this plate is where the termination point is for the antenna. It makes a difference if that cover is on there, even if the lid is already closed.

All I can think is that by adjusting the gap I'm creating a capatience coupling. Without doing that it kept it in the j7 area.
