Some guy in a brand spanking new wrangler was tailgating like an idiot thinking he was the cats backside til we go into mountains and he couldn't keep up. I just put foot on gas pedal and let the Hemi sing. So pretty much I let my Overland sign an autograph today.:wave:

What carrier? More pics, especially of the antennas please.
I started by placing the amplifier under the rear tray an ran the 2 antennas threw existing holes.

I then took the outside antenna and ran it under weather striping for the back hatch and out the top of the lift gate. (Notice the antenna is broken the store i ordered it has a new one on the way)

I then ran the interior antenna under the rear tray and up the driver side door jam. It's in the roof right above the drivers seat.

I just plugged the power source into the rear 12volt outlet until my rocker switches come in.

I plan on running a power supply thats off when the key is off because these thing will run your battery down quick if you forget to turn them off.

Hemily Gc-- Take a look at the "Wilson Trucker" antenna. It should well outperform the rubber duckie you've got there. It's actually 2 antennas, 1800 and 900. Downside, it looks VERY space-cadety.

Would this be the one your talking about? It looks like something you would take spearfishing! Have you had any experience with this antenna?? Can you tell a noticeable difference in range??

That's the one you want, just as pictured. I bought the model with the (removable) extension wand, which doesn't really add anything unless your mount point is below roof level.

Regarding performance, I have a couple of 4-ft carrier grade dipole omnis that I use camping, a 2.4 and an 1800. I'm close to leaving those at home because the trucker works so well, and is much smaller. I'm guessing the reason is the built-in Ground Plane on the Wilson Trucker, which helps give it its Buck Rogers look. Don't be surprised if your neighbors call Homeland Security.
