Its 32" so I think I will rear mount it somewhere around the tailgate. Back in the day, I had a giant CB whip antenna on the back of my CJ. Its a bit of a throwback to that.
Been looking at this thread for a bit, I will be a 2022 delivery so not in a huge rush yet. Great resource. Shout out to @BuzzyBud for all of the solid work he puts into all of the topics he researches. I have been using a CB for over ten years on my Mustang runs. Effective with smaller groups on the open highway but definitely has shortcomings. I used to run the long buggy whip. If you are using the magnetic attachment anten put some plastic wrap or cut out a piece of carpet runner/drawer liner. Helps prevent unnecessary scratching. And an FYI the long buggy whips fall over at 90-95 MPH. Allegedly....shorty has never toppled over. Yet
For what its worth, I have thoroughly enjoyed futzing about with the GMRS system since I got my license. We have quite a good repeater network here in NM and I can range most of the state from my mobile set up in the hybrid (using a Midland MXT275). Its 15 Watts, but its plenty, even using the mag-antenna included in the package. I bet this would work fine with a better antenna installed permanent in the Bronco for the trail.Just got my GMRS license. I am already looking forward to the ridiculous whip antenna that will be on the Rig. It will fit right in on the old sedan till Bronco Arrival Day (B-A-Day)
Like this little antenna/signal booster...

Yep, very seriously considering that and one of the lip mounts for the rear deck lid on my sedan. Not sure how I'm going to rig the antenna on the Bronco. There are a load of Jeep brackets that will put the antenna on/near the mirrors. I bet the aftermarket will deliver one for the same location. One of the benefits of being MY22

I might get one of these: and try it out on the hood of my old F350. See if it scratches anything on that first.Yep, very seriously considering that and one of the lip mounts for the rear deck lid on my sedan. Not sure how I'm going to rig the antenna on the Bronco.

I was thinking of getting the Midland MXT 400 radio and these antennas.......
You can get a fold down mount so you can mount up high on a rack for best results and put down when not in use.
