Hi,
Does anyone here have their CB antenna mounted on one of the corners of their rear bumper?
I've seen this setup before some places.
What do you guys think? Looks ok? Looks lame?
also, hows the reception there?

thanks

 

It's not a terribly efficient location for an antenna and it's hard to get a good match when it's mounted there. Because putting it on the bumper means a significant section of antenna is only inches away from metal, i.e. the tailgate, it's generally not a recommended location.

 

alin,

ive been patiently reading your posts here and over at 4x4wire over the past 1-2 weeks.

summary: you really need to search.

There aren't but 20 posts total in this particular section of the forum. None of the antenna posts here say anything about an antenna mounted on the rear bumper. Plus i'm from Georgia! We're kinda slow down here so you have to cut us some slack.

 

well lay off the bottle and you might be ok

 

Now where's the fun in that?

 

search in the main toyota 4runner forum. i did a quick search and in the first page, there are several references to what you are looking for.

Guess i was searching in the wrong "section".

thanks

 

yeah, dont give up if you cant find it in one section. you'll find more in the main section.

HMm... looks nice back there.
How is it working for you?

 

It works just dandy! Good luck

 

I put the antenna on my VW pickup on the rear bumper. It works OK for what I use it for:
