I removed the headliner, I got a double layer roof messed up but solve the mess anyways.

Didnt have a good hole saw so I drilled pukaʻs(holes) around the hole saw markings. :LOL:

The top layer was flimsy so I dropped in the hole saw blade for sturdier support. I should have just drilled the 5/8th in hole all the way down.

You will regret the choice of the bee hive mount, they are notorious for shorting, this I know all too well as I have had 3 of them go bad with a 12'' shaft predator 10-k.

You can pick one of these up at most truckstops or at this site and it will hold up to the task at hand without fail.

CB Radio Antenna Mounts

Those small beehive and heavy stud mounts are not the way to go with a large antenna like a 102" whip. Go with a ball mount and never look back. They will take what you want to throw at them unlike the others. I have smoked both of the ones mentioned above.
Nice looking setup regardless. Just watch the hole saw blade........it could put a dent in your noggin.
