Well I forgot I was meeting with our mortgage lender and realtor yesterday. I'm going to cut them out and prep them at work so I'll just have to weld them when I get home. I have training tonight and hockey right after so I'm pretty much booked up

Its all good no worries
I finally got mine painted and installed. I had to make some modifications to them to get the collar portion on the nylon washer to slip into the mounts (the stud portion kept touching the mount and grounding out). Other then that everything works great. I've already had people ask me where I got them at. As far as dual antennas go, I don't know that its worth the extra work. I didn't see any difference between running one or two antennas. I'll have to get some pics and post them.
I definitely give them a BIG ----->
Thanks again!

Got mine today. Good lord are they hard to drill thru. Had to drill the hole for the antenna to fit the rubber spacer in. Def love it the sheet metal on the XJ will rip before the mount even starts to bend. Holds my 9.5" whip nicely. Great job man and thank you for getting it to me so quickly.

Vonguido, You should check your installation. From the pic, it looks like you have the nylon washer on the bottom which means you are grounding out the antenna. Have you checked SWR readings?
