Ok, this one is brand new too (no package), and includes an extra stainless whip antenna. Also they are adding $16 for shipping when shipping is prolly less than half that....so I see it as $70 shipped, with no extra mast.

If I cant get $50 shipped for it I'll keep it and use it sometime.

the wilson 2000 will be great for you, ive got it on my truck and it works perfect, i didnt like the look of the firestick or that its a solid antenna, with the wilson if you dont quite have enough height clearance its not a problem. and it takes under 10 seconds to remove the top portion if you really need clearance, with the firestick if you hit because its too tall youll be replacing it

i know you want to mount on the back but heres a pic of it mounted up front again

You will have better results with a single antenna. If you have duals, I suggest running only a coax to one, and leave the other as a dummy.

I'm gonna say get a whip. Its probably the best antenna you can buy. No coil to worry with (Im sure some others will tell you different but thats my thoughts.) But I will also say that on an older radio I had a wilson 2000 with about 300w going to it and it was strong. The only issue was I could put out further than what I could pick up. Hope that helps some. O yea forgot I mounted my whip on my tool box.
