Rear Antenna Mount for all FJ80s

Hello SoCal 80s crew

I wanted to get some feed back on what you guys think of a rear antenna mount for our trucks.
The mount uses the existing bolts for your rear hatch. These can be used for CB and or HAM Radio Antennas or Sand Dune Whips (for surf and turf)

Of course this prototype still needs to be cleaned up and welded
Check out the photos and let me know what you guys think.
All comments are appreciated

Thanks for the interest in these FJ80 Antenna Mounts.

Thanks
Frank

Nice. I like it.

Clean. My only feedback, assuming that's why you've posted this is it being mounted to the lower bolts. You'd need a longer antenna (CB or Ham) to clear the roofline for better transmission/reception. Can it be mounted to the upper strut bolts without it affecting the operation of the struts? I like it for the sand whip though.

I'd buy one, just cause i like weird.. one off stuff

 

[VCCruzr]

Good job Frank! A 4' FireStik would put you above the roofline. Nice job!

 

[80BajaBound]

Looks good Frank. Good idea.

 

[RSHARPfzj80]

How much $ ?? Great idea. Count me in

 

[Bailey27]

I want one! Does it effect the way the hatch closes?

 

[fjc8871]

[Newps]

Edit:

Looks good as an option. If you produce them let me know, I may want one.

 

[FJRanger]

Nice idea, I may want one too.

Careful!

This is how a small business starts!

One moment you are showing off a clever device and next you are in debt to a web designer and whole new set of power tools in the garage!

Looks like a great design and good looking too.

Nice job reusing existing holes. For my Fire Stick fender mount I had to drill holes. Now don't you still have to drill a hole for the wire?

Thanks for the input on these. I will make a couple to use as prototypes for testing.

What do you guys think of one for each side? One for a CB antenna and the other for HAM radio or one for a radio antenna and the other for a sand dune whip.

Let me know if you are up for the challenge of testing these on your rig with feed back and a review. PM me if you are interested.

Thanks again

Frank

Interested in buying one too.
Sign me up.

One for each side for sure. Count me in for one of each. I really hated the thought of attaching sheet metal screws to body.

You do realize that if the 80s hand throttle group buy thread is any indication...if this gets out to the 80s section your nights and weekends will be completely screwed
