    So i'm currently in the process of upgrading my antenna system,I have a 4ft skipshooter on a spring,with a tram heavy duty stud,on a birdperch on my volvo.

    I'm looking to maybe upgrade to a predator,but I'd like to upgrade the stud aswell.

    Can anybody recommend a good stud,or where to look for a good stud thanks.

    Did you have to reroute your coax in order to bypass the multiplexer? If so, did you have to remove panels?

    Yeah I just have it running to the top of the door jam,can't do the mirror routing at this time.

    When I had my freightliner I ran it under the hood to the firewall behind the dash,but these volvo's it's just to much work to take the mirror's apart,knowining my luck as soon as I did it my company would have me switching trucks.

    If your going with a Predator 10K...Go with the Predator 10K stud-mount...matches up perfectly with all the Predator 10K antennas since they are made by the same company!:D

    Probably best to specify the
    H/D stabilizer stud with terminals since the H/D stabilizer stud with SO239 is only as strong as the 25-cent bottom half..
