The pouf fell apart

I don't know what the problem is but as soon as I tightened it I noticed it was loose and I simulated the movement of a Jeep TJ car with an antenna on the HD Firestik Spring, and it immediately detached and fell apart. Not everyone would actually tighten properly so I'm not sure how this junk works, or it was faulty or whatever, but they definitely want a replacement or refund.

Pros
  • Great price
Cons
  • There are cons

Don't forget mass!

Easy to fit, fit new spare tire bracket. However, my radio gave me an "Antenna Warning" message. I googled and found that it was most likely caused by bad grounding. The spare wheel mount was powder coated so I took my Dremel tool and sanded away the paint underneath where the mount attaches. Problem solved! I then added a quick connector so the antenna could be easily removed before washing the car.

Pros
  • Inspires confidence
Cons
  • Unfashionable

Not durable!: Accessories

My 3-star rating is not based on quality or experience. Item shipped quickly and arrived on time. For the average buyer, this will be a good choice, but it's NOT "heavy duty" as the name might suggest. This is a simple antenna mount for mobile CB antennas. I'll save it and throw it in the antenna parts bin, but you can find really "heavy duty" antenna mounts at truck stops or on the internet if you look for them. Otherwise, you don't need to enclose heavy conditions in quotes. I'll take a…

Pros
  • Slim design
Cons
  • Long delivery time

Internal breakage - impossible to tighten - bullshit!

As several other reviewers have reported, I was unable to tighten this bolt. Something inside is broken causing it to spin inside and I can't mount it to the antenna mount in the bumper. I bought one of these about 2 years ago and have had no problems. However, something happened to their quality control or their manufacturing processes due to many buyers complaining about the same. I ended up buying a Pro Trucker Heavy Duty Stud with impeccable reviews.

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • New competitors have arrived

Tightening fell apart

I don't know what the problem with that is, but as soon as I tightened it I noticed it was loose and imitated the movement of a Jeep TJ car with one antenna on the HD Firestik Spring and it instantly broke and fell apart. Not everyone would actually tighten properly so I'm not sure how this junk works, or it was faulty or whatever, but they definitely want a replacement or refund.

Pros
  • Antennas
Cons
  • Cable is shorter than others

Don't forget mass!

Easy installation, I snapped it onto the new spare wheel mount. However, my radio gave me an "Antenna Warning" message. I googled and found that it was most likely caused by bad grounding. The spare wheel mount was powder coated so I took my Dremel tool and sanded away the paint underneath where the mount attaches. Problem solved! I then added a quick connector so the antenna could be easily removed before washing the car.

Pros
  • CB and talkback radios
Cons
  • Ugly packaging
