I Do But Your Far away.

I do but you are even farther away for me.
Come up and see the tulips http://www.anandavillage.org/events-and-celebrations/springtime-at-ananda/ and you can pick it up then.

I do but I'm closer than both of them and still far away. If you make it up here I can tune it for you. Though it would probably be cheaper to just order a cheap one from frys or radioshack online.

 

[hiimmred]

Me too but you live in the boonies. I got mine at fry's they aren't that expensive.

 

[EricsXJ]

I do but I'm further away than everyone else. HA!

 

[rocknxj]

I have one. 400 miles to your south.

Btw, i'm looking at a Uniden 880. What antenna are you going with?

 

[831_xj]

Hahaha well shoots! I guess they're cheap enough I might just order one on fleabay or something of the sort.

And I can't quite recall but I believe I got the Firestik II 3' in white. I have it mounted above my passenger side tail light. A guy on CF makes some shuuuwweeet Stainless Steel mounts.

Here is the best antenna you can run on a off-road rig.

Next time you're looking to upgrade, grab one. They bend without breaking, and have a tuning sleeve.

I ran one on my CJ and previous XJ with zero problems. On the CJ I had a linear amplifier, the antenna worked great.

OK, thanks. I run a 3' Firestick mounted to my driver's side engine bay and it works very well. I've tried all locations on the XJ and find that location to be the best. I was looking for a new radio and antenna for the motorhome and was curious about your setup.

 

[Johnnie Walker]

I've got the radiocrap equivalent of a firestick. Has the screw adjsutable apparatus in the top of the antenna. Have it mounted with a custom mount pass side above the tailight. Never tuned it, but usually works fine.
Have a tire carrier bumper to install meow, so that is where it will be placed when that is done.

I could use a tuneup as well. Anyone want to bring a meter to the Reno run? We can have a Tuneup session before we hit the trails..

 

[87matchief]

[GordoSmasho]

I'll bring both of mine.
