We recently installed a President Grant II CB Radio into one of our ICE2017 Expedition Vehicles.

To complete this installation, we needed somewhere on the roof to place the magnetic antennae.
However, having a full sized Front Runner Roof Rack already on the roof, posed a challenge.

So, we conducted a very cheap (gratis actually) but highly functional DIY job.

We drilled 4 holes and bolted a kitchen magnet notice board (which was thrown away in the rubbish) onto the roof rack.

So, after just a few minutes work, we had a functional and totally gratis magnetic plate, onto which the magnetic antennae could be mounted.

Often, the cheapest and simplest solutions, are all you need.

Hope this was useful.
