G`day Andy,
I have had a stainless aerial on the bullbar of my 60 series L/cruiser since 1985 and its still going after doing the Anne Beadel, Canning S/R,
Simpson Desert,
Cape York,
Birdsville and outback Western Qld and heaps more rough stuff.
So don`t blame stainless aerials, it`s not the fault of the aerial.
I don`t know about your vehicle but I think you will find that some of the modern 4x4`s have a "crumple zone" at the front and because the bullbar is attached to this and not directly to the chassis there is a lot more vibration.
My mates 200 series L/cruiser vibrated everything that was on the bullbar to bits,
the sand flag bracket, the mobile phone aerial, the uhf aerial, the lightforce
driving lights and sections of the ARB bullbar itself welds
broke.
All because of the excessive vibration when going offroad.
Regards & safe travels,
Scrubby.
