The next item to be fitted is the antenna mount.
This is the 2m/70cm/CB antenna mount. 2m is an VHF Amater Radio Band, 70cm is a UHF Amateur Radio band and CB is often what gets referred to, in error, as "The UHF". Used by Truck drivers and travellers.
In truth the UHF Radio Spectrum is used by many services such as, Government and Public two way radio/data, Digital TV, Garage Door Openers, Car Remotes, Military, Amateur Radio etc and CB uses a small part of the UHF spectrum too.
Depending in which state you are in dictates the rules on mounting antennas, light bars etc, so check with the rules that apply to you.
Some states frown on antennas on the drivers side and anything that sticks out beyond the dimensions of the vehicle. Having said that I'm constantly amazed in what we do see on the road!

The install of a commercially available mount was quick and easy once I knew where.

| A neat solution Now to run in the cabling through the firewall gland and tap off the 12 volt power. |
