UHF's, HF's, GPS's, in new Hilux's

Postby Uteracer on Fri, 16 Mar 2007 9:07 +0000

Now close to ordering the new rig. But I'm still sorting out how and where to install an Autotune antenna for a Codan HF radio. Has anyone installed a HF in their Hilux before? Any pics? I was thinking of either fabricating a heavy steel bracket near the mounting points of the roll bar, or making something like a Kaymar setup with a swing out bracket on the rear of the vehicle. Mounting it on the bull bar is out of the question in Victoria - cops dont like it located there.

I think the Kaymar setup would be the best setup for HF antenna. It's at rear of vehicle and out of the way.

Thanks XRDAVE. I was going to order my Hilux with a Toyota hard lid and was hoping to fabricate a bracket which runs between the mounting points of the two sports bars on the left side just above where the hard lid is. Early days yet. Has anyone else installed a HF in their Hilux at all??
