[Mobile-Portable] ?? Where to locate Tarheel 2 on Dodge Caravan

[Edward L. Dowdy]

I've always put mine on the drivers side so I could see them. Also keeps 
them away from most trees. Except when the wife decides to drive down the 
wrong side of the street whacking every thing in sight with a 12' tall N9JMX 
Predator... A friends Predator is mounted on the driver's side of his 
Caravan. Unless you're running a Turbo-Tuner or other similar device you 
really need to see it. Even when you are, it's good to see it as those 
puppies ain't perfect.
