NO !!!! I tried that, by accident, not a good outcome. LOL !! Actually, the rack fits and I had been thru before with the rack but then I added the lights and didnt think about that. That machine whacked the lights pretty hard and scared the crap out of me. I dont keep the rack on top for daily use.

Hahahaha I was gonna say...

I leave my antenna off and leave it in the back all the time and only put it on when I plan on using it. If I left it on someone would steal it over night.

I wouldn't think there would be such high demand for CB antennas in the greater Detroit area. LOL

Eh kids will steal anything for fun and throw it away. I normally take mine off too

Yeah, you'd be surprised at what they'll steal. Someone once broke into my XK and since they couldn't steal it and I keep it empty of "stuff" they ended up stealing about $4 in change out of my center console. It was simultaneously maddening and funny. I know the antenna isn't that expensive but I'd rather break it due to my own stupidity and have to replace it than have to because a pimple on the butt of humanity steals it.

well I pulled the trigger today on a 4' antenna and all the required goodies to set it up. I speant right at 100 bucks on everything (radio, mount etc.) so Im excited to have it all installed by the time im going wheeling in 2 weeks. I will have to tune it somehow, hoping some of the local wheelers around here have a meter to help me tune it.
