you have a good setup, but your antenna is mounted wrong. you should never mount your 102in whip on the bumper.... reason being your gonna get radiation and its too low. if i was you i would either get a bed toolbox and mount it there or mount it in the bed of the pic up. be sure to ground your antenna as well it makes a difference.
The only difference I would have made would be to mount the antenna on the passenger side for more signal going towards the oncoming traffic for road info. But all around this is a nice setup. Clean looking install also.
People ran wips on the bumper for decades.. it will be fine.
.But as for that HR2600..now thats a bad ass radio and sure is a talker..if you are an 11m guy, get an astatic m6b on that bad boy and it will scream.. i ran that radio from around 1992 to 2005. Best AM talking radio i ever owned..
