2 ft firestick compared to the 3 ft? Since it will be hood mounted,the tip will be about 4 or 6 inches above the top of my car and roofline, is ok?

It is better to have at least half of the antenna above the roofline. Consider the 4 ft version.

Yes you should be fine as long a it is a permanent mount. I would not recommend a 3 foot if you are using a magnet mount.

I installed this on a 98 shadow 1100 and I had more than enough to run from top of the bars to the battery. Probabaly 3 ft, but I never measured it.

From the top of the stabilizer bar that rests on the ground to the very top of the pole is 27 and 1/2 inches. I usually stay about 2" from the very top when I have to raise the grill out of the way of the fire, but as L. Ellis said there's no set stopping points. It's your discretion. I'm about 25" off the ground at the highest point that I go.

Mine is mounted about 12 feet up, and it has more than enough sensitivity to detect cars and even people in the driveway below. And I even have the sensitivity turned way down to prevent detecting tree motion due to wind.

menards sells a trypod stand that screws to the roof for around $ 20.00,they should have a pole for it.i bought the trypod last year.i already had a pole.the higher the pole the better,mine is about 8 ft tall.the lava works great as long as its signal is not bolcked by an object.only one channel is hard to receive and it is very weak.

I'd say it's a good 1 1/2 to 2 ft or so.. not exact . I have it in my extended cab 93 s10 between the shifter cover and the console mounted on the floorboards..! And itll run upto the plugin without any shortness. So ya maybe alil longer

The tip is probably 3/8 of an inch wide or so. Depending on how narrow the area you are working with depends on whether it will work for you or not. The idea is to run the plastic welding rod through the insert on top of the tip and when it melts, it drips into the area you are working meaning the tip doesn't go into the area rather than over the top of the area you are welding.

I have read varying reviews saying it would be fine and others stating 16". I have the 2' and wasn't happy with reception and especially broadcasting, so I bought the 4'. However, the 4' could not stand up to the wind forces above 60mph with magnetic mount. The 3' should, but there are a whole bunch of problems you are in for if you leave the magnetic mount in place for any time at all. Consider trunk mount with bracket.

not well. my vent is almost 14" from tip-tip and it didn't cover it completely. it worked fairly well but i would've preferred a larger one and sturdier material

The 2" is an approximation. All vehicles are different. Try marking where the tube stops and compare it with the length of the dip stick. The dip stick may be closer than 2" from the oil pan.

I have a 2013 Jeep Rubicon. I installed the 3' firestick antenna about 2 years ago. Use off road all the time, works great. The taller the antenna, the more range but 3' is above the roof and works just fine for me. Also need to consider when off roading the taller antenna will often hit overhanging brush and trees. Hope this is helpful for you.

What Robert D. said. Back in January I went on a wheelin' trip with about 20 other trucks. Many of them had 2' Firestiks mounted on the bedrail with a similar situation as you describe, just a few inches above the roofline. It was found that very few at the back half of the line could receive the lead truck. With my roof mounted 2' FS, I could receive fine from one end to the other. Of course, I was hitting more low hanging branches and such but if you can't hear the person transmitting, then having a CB is pretty pointless anyway, yeah?

This awning is quite heavy and awkward to mount (need 2 or 3 people). I attached mine to the overhang of the roof, and the weight forced it to tilt forward. I had 3 L brackets made to support (and level) the weight of the awning. It worked perfectly.Please note: The awning (when open), will drop approximately 3 feet from mounting height.

Depends on where you place it on your windshield. Mine is about 4 to 5 inch above my dash.

We only have a toyota avalon which is not tall. However I do not believe it would reach over the hood of your truck.

As documented on the xtremeairusa website, the hood itself is 10" high and it comes with a chimney that covers the venting that telescopes from 15 3/8" to 30 3/4". Longer chimneys for higher ceilings are available. I had to have the chimney cut down for a higher mounting. This is an extremely well made hood that I've had for 4 months -- and I love it.

12 1/2 inches from tip to tip. I use it as my primary duty flashlight as a police officer and I've dropped it on the road and used it as an impact weapon and it has not failed me yet. It is very rugged.
