They are UHF and a lot like GMRS in the US - Aussie Antenna - https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/aussie-antenna.1216108/ There are companies out there that make them in the US (Rugged, Overland Mobile Radio Antennas -...
I've never owned an ARB bumper, but I'm pretty sure they do have a tab or a hole for an antenna. You might have to drill it out larger to fit an NMO mount, if it's sized for a cb antenna.
Not familiar with the alomosa antennas, but Larsen...
Can people share info and pics of what antenna they have mounted to their arb bumpers for 2m/70cm? I know alomosa makes a nice antenna but it's only 2m, and I'd like a 2m/70cm. I'm installing a arb bumper next week on my 2018 land cruiser and...
Bit of unfortunate drama. I'm not happy with the aluminum and possible galvanic corrosion. We have reverted to a thermoplastic/UV resistant design. I'm sorry I don't have an immediate date for you.
Working on the release of another antenna...
I ordered set from Costco delivered and they wouldn’t install them because 10mm narrower than stock and speed rating only 118mph.
GMAFB.
Love Costco but this is absurd liability CYA
try the 295/70/18 defenders. I'm debating them with a minor rub on the kdss or going with the new falken wildpeak at4's 285/70/18 load range c(but still a heavy tire). decisions decisions
Do these see the same speeds as us here in the US? Average pavement conditions? Accept that they will give up a lot in the way of vehicle dynamics because other things are important (like avoiding perforations)
Also there are probably other...
I don't disagree with your point on sidewall. There is a balance to be had there too as too much, especially with an overly narrow tire can impact handling dynamics, stability, and steering sharpness. Things that matter even for a big truck...
Additional random data point on wide vs skinny on 200 and 300 series LC’s:

Which I believe is for looks. Instabro crowd loves the look of fat tires, regardless of whether they are adding functional benefit or not. Same with Ford Raptor & Bronco, etc. The off road spec trucks will have wide AT tires, usually in a P or...
Great info. Any updates? Did replacing that motor only solve your issue? $100 for brand new and motor swap only sounds way better than $2k for brand new everything.
There is not a tire made and on the market today that would overdue it under our Cruisers (without going overboard and doing body cuttings). The max we'll find is an 85% which is in a distinctly sweet spot for overland and off-highway travel...
Actually, 16" should be 💯 fine for a Cruiser and heat dissipation. Mercedes 3500 Sprinter at 10k gvwr and 7500 lbs tow rating has factory 16" wheels and brakes still
I don't know. I thought it was the low OE tire pressure rating for the...
I'm not missing your point either, I promise. Why Toyota chose 275 and 285 is maybe a bit of aesthetic. For years the 80 and 100s had different widths depending on the market. I actually think 275 is a good proper width for a Cruiser. For me...
Correct, 18" in 2021 (IIRC). That said for YEARS 13" was rule. It is also said that 18" was pressed more by aesthetics. But as for the brake thing, since at least 2009 KERS and MGUK (regenerative braking) so braking (which inboard brakes are...
Applying formula 1 logic to SUV tire application seems.. illogical. Pretty sure they’d argue strongly against skinny anything.
My stock sized 285/60R18s work really, really well, even off road (for what they are). And have as much sidewall as a...
Personally, I can't decide between a 295/70 and a 275/70. Do I go with the easy button of the 275 or deal with the minor headache of the 295... Currently running 275/65 but have a 3" lift(bought that way) so they look small.
We know that big aspect works off-road, but how about on street and roads, that is my counter. An F1 tire with 13" wheels that are over 70% aspect.
High aspect tires on WRC:
It is about the ratio of the sidewall to the width that matters...
Opinionated but educated reply inbound:
Skinnier is better. Full Stop. Better handling, better air spring, better off-highway. Even Formula 1 engg will argue tall sidewalls are better on the pavement too :-) Skinnier ⟹ higher aspect ratio...
