Wish the 90 degree bend was heavier

As stated in another review, be careful not to pull the antenna down. I broke mine too, but there was still enough lead left on it to get great reception.

Pros
  • Delivery was very quick
Cons
  • Upgradeable

Item delivered used and should have been new

This product was supposed to be new but showed signs of jamming as there were screw marks on the splitter and black tar on the back. I have sent back and am waiting for a refund.

Pros
  • Excellent construction
Cons
  • old

Simple but tricky with accessories and consumables

Bought this kit and installed very easily, just don't break the antenna cable too much before unplugging it in the glove box. When prompted to disconnect the antenna cable, it's not the end of the cable closest to the radio, it's the connector that's much closer to the antenna, which is hidden behind the passenger speaker. Advice to the wise, only hand tighten the antenna or you will twist the bolt and break the small gold wire in the antenna mount, resulting in a poor signal.

Pros
  • Featured
Cons
  • Almost OK

Gladiator CB antenna mount looks good

I fitted this to a 2021 gladiator jeep the instructions didn't work and the installation was a bit tricky I had to close the box as I couldn't Find a good place to screw it to that. Just put a small nut and bolt on the box and ground it. Put a 2" fire antenna and spring and quick release on SWR: 1.2 at 19, 1.8 at 40, 1.6 at 1, not too bad. Disconnecting the factory antenna connector was a bit of a challenge as it was at the point where the head would break. But everything turned out fine. Don't

Pros
  • Nice to use
Cons
  • Lots of stuff

A great idea! - poor execution.

As another reviewer mentioned, the antenna can only be made so narrow. How tight? I don't know until it becomes too much and the copper wire inside the case gets sheared off! I contacted Rugged Ridge Customer Service for maximum torque specs, proper tightening instructions, and a new case. They sent me a new case but ignored my request for a torque specification. and instructions for proper dressing. I let the antenna run for a couple of weeks and had to tighten it up. Then he drove the jeepโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Dope ๐Ÿ”ฅ
Cons
  • Expensive
