CB Thread!

Looking at buying some firestiks or off brand whips of the likes. Not sure whether to go 4ft or 3ft, as 3ft may end up being too short and 4ft may end up being too tall. Will also use the firestik 6-8 inch springs whatever I can find cheapest. Mounting on a toolbox. Wanna avoid finding a radio shack and trying to talk them into letting me test them out on the truck, so I need your help! PLEASE POST PICTURES OF 3FT AND 4FT DUAL WHIPS!

I'm running a 3' Firestick, its perfect. I have a 4' and its way too much, but mine is in front of the cab. A 4' behind the cab would be ok...

You might be able to make it out in my profile pic?

I always liked the Wilson top loaded antennas.
