The antenna in the front bumper is for my Yaesu FTM-350 144/(220)* /430 MHz 50 W FM Dual Band Transceiver aka Amateur Radio aka Ham Radio.

And a 3' firestik antenna is actually located in the back on the tail gate.

Default What size lights on Gobi Ranger rack?

I pulled the trigger on the rack this week. I bought it directly from the manufacturer (sorry Dave) as I couldn't pass up their Father's day special. I would have bought it from AE, but the tax to Cali was a deal breaker. Anyhow, my question:
anyone run the 4 inch round lights on the front of the rack and notice any improvement in wind noise from the 6 inch lights? I bought the ranger with the wind deflector and was looking for lights to put on, but haven't decided on size, shape yet.

No worry. I am glad I could assist you on the measurements and etc.

The 6" round lights looks best with Ranger racks. And wind noise should be noticeably deference between 4" vs 6 "

Default 6" v. 4"

I definitely think the 6"-ers are the way to go. Wind noise be damned. I think if have the Jeep with the Gobi rack and lights on we should just give up on caring about wind noise. Oh, yeah, that reminds me. Still waiting on another few decals Dave since I had to scrap the other one when the wind deflector went on. I'm happy to pay for them if necessary.
