CB antenna mounting questions

Whatsup my friends if I could get some feedback from you guys regarding a CB antenna install on my Ford Ranger.

I've been reading up on CB mounts and ground planes and i can't seem to decide where to mount them. So, my two favored mounting locations are on the rear door or on a hood mount. To me, the hood mount would provide the best grounding plane using an antenna like the Firestick, but it will be in harms way. If I did the rear door, I'm considering a 102" whip, but still concerned about the GP.

I do not want to use a magnetic or roof mount, as i have very bad experince of it flying off at high speeds!

What would you guys think would be appropriate and most tune-ably acceptable? Any other suggestions? Parts, location, etc?
