Actually I forgot to come here and update. .... not happy with mine. Went through a tight trail in the pines and it got tore off. Luckily no major hood damage.Originally Posted by lekmedm
So, Matt, how has this new CB mount worked out for you since you've been offroading now? I've been very happy with mine.
I like the location so im going to design/make my own mount for there that bolts on via the hood latch bolts.
Would a different spring have helped prevent that? I'm running an MD spring. I think you once said you have an HD one.

Not sure. I thought mine bent far enough but I guess not. I think it got wedged in a V of a branch and was literally pulled outwards, not just bent.
Well, caught in a "V" would yank an antenna from any mount, or at least cause some damage.

I disgree. It still slid through, just the clamp force of that hood mount is too weak. A steel bracket bolted to the hood latch aint going anywhere. And if it does get caught on something I dont have to worry about it bending/damaging my hood.
Hey, Matt! I just ran across this picture. Maybe using your mount on the door would be better than on the hood???

I saw one for a WK that bolts to the hinge, not sure if it would work on the XK............ I'll have to see if I can dig up a link.
