Getting the base up near the top of the guard puts more of the whip above the roofline, which is where it does its work. It also keeps the aerial off the bar, so a recovery or a light knock does not take your comms out with it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is not only a UHF mount either. The same bracket is commonly used as a buggy whip mount or a flag mount, which is worth knowing if you run sand flags or work-site whips.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eBuild and finish\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e304 grade stainless steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLaser cut, CNC folded and edge rounded\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePowder coated in texture matte black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePassenger side only\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAustralian made and owned, per Pirate Camp Co\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBonnet hinge aerial bracket\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eNot included: aerial, aerial base, coax and radio.

Pirate Camp Co only make this bracket in a passenger side version, and it is positioned to clear the wipers, windscreen and associated moulding whether the bonnet is open or closed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWill it fit a Ranger Raptor and an Everest?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes. Pirate Camp Co list the one bracket for the Next Gen Ranger, Ranger Raptor and Next Gen Everest. The Ford Ranger Super Duty is a different vehicle and takes its own aerial mount.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDoes it suit the Wildtrak specifically?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes. Pirate Camp Co list the bracket for the Next Gen Ranger, Ranger Raptor and Next Gen Everest with no trim exclusions, so XL through to Wildtrak and Platinum are covered. It mounts to the bonnet hinge, so what differs inside the cabin between trims does not come into it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCan I use it for a flag or a buggy whip?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes. Pirate Camp Co list buggy whip and flag mounting as intended uses alongside a UHF aerial. Match the base and thread to whatever you are fitting, and keep in mind a long whip loads the bracket differently to a short UHF antenna.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWill it affect my bonnet closing or alignment?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFitted correctly it should not. The bracket sits on the hinge face and is designed around the standard bonnet position. Torque the hinge bolts to specification when you refit them and check the bonnet shuts and sits flush before you drive it, because hinge bolts are one place you do not want to guess.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pirate Camp Co.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45167658860744,"sku":"P-1875","price":81.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0623\/7890\/1704\/files\/AB-017_1_0ff22f60-576e-4a67-b7e9-4a5870e05e71.png?v=1786256072","url":"https:\/\/nextgenranger.com.au\/products\/ford-ranger-next-gen-aerial-bonnet-mount-pirate-camp-co","provider":"NXG","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
