uhf antenna on ARB sahara bar

[bigdan Junior Member Find all posts View Profile Close bigdan]

Hi guys just wondering where the best spot to mount a uhf antenna on my sahara bar is? I have a 2002 gxl advantage limited edition

Either getting a 900mm 6db gain fibreglass to mount on the existed holes on the left corner of the bar.
Should I be concerned about possibly cracking headlights if the antenna hits them?

or I will get a 720mm 5db and mount it to the chrome hoop. Are there any mounts that fit this large diameter bar or would I need to make something custom? I would rather not drill into the chrome

heres an example of both setups but on different vehicles

Bringing up an old post but I would like to know if there is any difference mounting the uhf antenna on the left corner as shown in the picture above versus the antenna mount on the upper bar of an arb deluxe bullbar?

Ground inependents can be mounted just about anywhere.

On hoop or bar will give more or less the same performance.

I moved mine from the left hole of the bullbar because it was constantly getting whacked by bushes etc on the side of tracks. I don't think it ever hit the body though.

Picked up a bracket from prestige:

Had to replace the band clamps with longer as they didn't reach around the sahara hoop
