I've been using this antenna set up for over a year and it's worked great for me. I bought a HF trailer spare tire mount and bought a u-bolt to go through were the tire bolts would mount, I'm a retired power lineman so the pole was an old fiberglass extinction pole that I found while working but two sets of u-bolts one set mounted high and one lower on the tire mount with a extecion painters pole would work. If I ever add an extra battery I plan on moving this to the rear bumper, just before someone says anything I do not travel with the antenna in place lol
