    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.

    Exclamation

    I tore the condom off mine at an Arby's drive-thru in Erie last month... D'OHHHH!

    Bought a cheap-azz replacement stick at a truck stop, and took the condom off THAT one, to protect my Wilson (and the condom DOES make a difference with a tuneable antenna!!!). And then I electrical taped it in place, for good measure!

    Discovered that with the QD mount and the antenna removed, I CAN still run it through car washes without problems. Changes the angle on the hood-mounted scanner antenna, but I gotta jump out and fold the mirrors back into place after a car wash anyways.

    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.

    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.
