Not trying to hijack, but has anyone felt the need to add a spring to the antenna when using this mount?

I'm going to be installing mine this weekend, and a few guys from my local club suggested I might want one.

 

I down sized to a 3 foot antenna to be able to get into the garage without removing. A spring might be ok in the woods to prevent damage to the mounting setup. But a 3 foot is no taller than the top and works great....

 

Too....damn....lazy....out...ofbreath....just....t yping.... lol

Thanks for the info!!!

 

can anyone tell me exactly what type of firestick this is? firestick, firestick II, firefly......??????

dealer broke mine washing it

 

i dropped my jeep off with about 10 issues....fixed 6 and broke my firestick!!!!

woah you giving out freebies???

 

this is awesome. it is people like you that make my life so much easier!

 

I'm about to order this today, does anyone have this with a hard top and if so does it bang against the top much? also how fast is their shipping? i'm thinking of ordering that and the tailgate shock.

 

I don't usually have my top on anymore but When I did (and the few times I do now) there is no interference. the shipping was ver quick and I am very happy with the product!

 

just to clarify - and i've got an email out to cooltech on this as well - but is there really no soldering on any part of the installation? quotes from the cooltech website:

After routing the coax up to the dash, simply strip the coax and screw on the PL-259 end. No need to solder the shielding (that used to be a pain), but you will need to solder the center tip of the CB connector.

and,

Route the wire using the supplied instructions (super easy!) and simply screw on the supplied PL-259 connector. Solder the tip and you're done!
