Trail Tailor rear antenna mount (1 Viewer)

[Haring Bagsik]

I’m looking into purchasing the Trail Tailor rear antenna mount for my 100. Anyone have purchased and installed this mount yet? If you have, can you please post a pic of your antenna mount and how do you like it? Thanks!

Best pic I have, let me know if you want a different angle or something. I like it a lot—my previous mount was on the hood, where the cable always rubbed the paint as it passed through the gap (on a 4Runner before it, the cable eventually rubbed down through the paint and gave me a little rust spot). The gaps at the rear are larger, so the cable clears easy.

Did you ground the mount? Or are the screws holding it on sufficient for ground? What are your SWR numbers?

No idea on SWR—but I get decent range on HAM. I really only use it for truck-to-truck stuff or picking up the weather radio. The screws holding it in seem to be good enough.

(Caveat: I put the amateur in radio. I can get by, but I really have no idea what I'm doing.)

Cool. I thought it was a CB setup. Sorry.

No worries, I think the concerns would be the same for any band.

Hi,

Thank you for the pic. Any chance you can post more pics from the sides and tp of the mount?

Thank you much!

Looks great. Can you please post pics from the back of the rig. I bought a set ps/ds for myself and my brother's 100 and from the back, both sides are angled inwards. Not sure if its supposed to be like that
