It is from Detours (Knucklebone)
I like it so far. I have had it on about a year.
I have had to re-tighten the bolts on it only once so far. It's pretty solid.

Mounted mine under the rear tail light. If/when I get a new bumper, I may have to move it, but it works good for now, and keeps my 5' antenna from being too tall.

^ keep an eye on that - that spot you attached it is very thin sheet metal and won't take much abuse from that antenna swinging around

I plan to weld a bit to it and have a stabilizer on the side of the quarter panel, just felt like getting it on and finished that night at like 1 am. When I have it bungeed to the rack it doesn't shake around much.

Made a mount out of a 7" piece of 1/4 flat bar and bent it in a Z using 3 selftappers in the fender and using 1 fender bolt.

i never had a problem on the public roads except for low trees. I ran 2 for a long time. Trees in town could possibly on the trail definitely. I had 1 on the roof it touched my windshield once. I had it on a hood mount, not really ideal or strong enough. Then i put 2 on the rear bumper. If you put a tennis ball with a small hole so it stays in place you might be happy with that. Lots of old trucks ran a tennis ball to keep it off the paint.
