Hi all,
I have a ford
ranger without a bull bar. Has anyone got an ideas where to mount the aerial. It is a crew cab with a canopy on the back?
Also where have you guys mounted the UHF CB. I have the XLT?
Thanking you in advance
James

After I have you have read this, you will be as confused as I am !
I have read up on what constitutes a ground plane, have realized that the middle of the roof, with a small $20-$30, rubber "dick" aerial gives brilliant reception.
I have had permanent problems ( mainly earthing ) with my bull bar mounting system.
Solid enuf, but because everything is painted and anodized, I have had to run earth straps everywhere, to stop crackling, and to get decent range out of my UHF raidio.
Maybe I am onto something ,,, maybe not !
Cheers
Bucky
