Obviously this install is for those who like me mostly drive it on-road, but enjoys occasional off-roads. Being complete newbie, I felt it rather pretentious
to have off-road equipment as if I am an expert off-roader that does this all the time (like many of you guys).
The second reason has to do with aesthetics
. In my area, I see maybe 10 Hummers a day, NEVER saw a single dirty one yet.. Plenty with brushguards just for show, and hardly any roof-racks. Never seen one with a CB antenna sticking on the top.
Phil, I've read your comments on the 2/3 above vehicle, but isn't the antenna (still) wide open on 3 sides? The truck body blocks only 1 side? Isn't the antenna 360degrees? Anyways, this $20 antenna seemed to allow me to listen to ALL CB traffics in the 2 runs I've been to (from the guys receiving the messages, the guys relaying it back n forth, and the original transmitter!
).
I'm glad SteveR convinced me to get the CB to listen to all the commentaries (I'm a tourist!), but the $50 CB & $20 antenna are too ugly to leave on my beautiful truck permanently!!
