Re: CB Radio Install?
if i were you i'd get someone to test it with a meter before you use it. if you install the antenna and radio and use it without having the match tested you can fry your radio. when i installed mine i tested it with the 4ft firestik and the match was over the maximum limit. i put on my 9ft steel antenna and the match was better, not great but useable. even using a mag mount i would still test it. just because it works for one guy doesn't mean it'll work for another guy.

No. I don't have plastic hinges. My hinges are metal. However I didn't mount it to the hinge or tail light. the YJ's have a metal bracket used as a stop for the tail gate.
Attachment 4083 I will be moving mine in the next couple of days to see if the match is any better |

Did you mount your antenna on the back of your jeep? Do you mount it to the black plastic piece that is beside the tail light(part of the hinge i guess)?

have you had the match checked since you installed? I would imagine that you are probably border line. But you might be in the 5% that get lucky the first time and have a less than 1.5:1 match.
