N2rock,

I did'nt give it alot of thought (shorty Antenna) because I figured that the FM reception would be real bad. What's your thoughts on the recption angle ?

I bought the Mopar ones around the same time as my birthday and I got the KC ones for my birthday. So I am just going to give the KC ones to my buddy.

I took my antenna completely off and I live in a small town with the closest station being 30+ miles away. The station comes in as clear as it did with the antenna. So I am planning on going to advance later today and getting a short antenna.

I like the Mopar down and out look, but I didn't know I was going to have to take off the antenna. That may change my mind. Does anybody have the bracket that fits lights and moves the mirrors too? That way I would have the mirrors when I take the doors off.

mopars are very expensive for two piece of bent steel

Have you checked them at night individually to see which one has more glare on the hood or if their is a dead spot in the light on the trail?

[QUOTE=N2rock;362854]
But the reason I picked them was because I saw pictures, and preferred the down & out position of the mopar over the up & in position of the KC's

Awesome thread! Thanks for posting this question with the pics. This solidifies my decision on the MOPAR brackets. Now, if I could only see an 8" and a 6" for comparison in light size
