Best antenna for a JL Jeep? I have a 4’ fire stick, I get out fine but, just wondering.

I have a 19 JL Jeep and was wondering if it be better with something like the skip shooter. Or will going a foot longer worth it, just will hit a bunch of things with it. The mount is halfway up the spare tire holder, thanks in advance.

 

102” whip if it was up to me.

 

I would use something lighter line a Francis, Firestik Firefly, or K40 makes one but I can't remember the name. Longer is always better but a 5' fiberglass regular size antenna has alot of mass that will be trying to swing around when you are off road. It puts a lot of stress on the mounts and base of the antenna.

 

k40 superflex, but it dosen't look like they make them in 5', or the Firefly.... Nvm.

 

All the Jeep guys are going to GMRS.. Here's a nice radio for that band Wouxun KG-1000G GMRS Base/Mobile Two Way Radio (buytwowayradios.com)

 

No they are not.

Know this for a fact.

 

Yep, the absolute "all" is an overstatement. "Some" or "many" would fit better.

 

On that mount maybe get a metal plate made and mount it for use of a mag mount..Even if you go to an underground parkade the whip will only bend then after your out will go back to normal..
A 102" or 108" would be nice but it will whip and wiggle like a cooked noodle..

 

Yes they are, they're dropping 27 MHz like a hot potato...
