Icom IC-7000 mounted on the center console. I cut off the back of the console to allow the wires to run thru the center. I also grounded the radio to the frame under the console, by scraping off paint, and screw/solder grounding strap from radio to transmission hump.

Jetstream mobile stick, 4 ' fiberglass coil, 4' whip mounted on a Lakeview mobile bracket. Note the braided grounding strap.

Front close up of Lakeview antenna mount. All bolts and hardware are stainless steel.
Another view of HF antenna, plus just above the tail light is my comet b-20 dual band 144/440 antenna.
I think the secret to good HF mobile is grounding. I bought several automotive alternator grounding straps. The antenna is grounded to the body of the SUV by scraping off paint and solder/screwing the contact. Same for the radio and tuner.
