Anyone have experience with these mounts? http://www.geotool.com/antmount.htm As you see from their website, the mounts are mounted into the stake holes in the sides of a pickup bed. Anyone here used these mounts? What was your experience? What truck? How difficult/easy was the installation? Has the mount lasted? I've had one on my Ford Ranger for several years with a 10M hamstick. It worked just fine. It was fairly easy to install...I had to remove the taillight assy to get access to the bottom of the pocket but that was not a big deal. I also had to drill a hole in the bottom of the pocket and needed a drill extension to reach but that wasn't too big a deal either. Altho the hamstick probably didn't tax it much, it seems to be a pretty rugged unit and seems to me to be a great idea. It's held up fine for quite a while (can't remember when I bought it) but I just removed it a few weeks ago when I gave the truck to my kid. It got a little rusty on top where the hamstick screws in but the rest of it is aluminum so won't rust. I'd certainly recommend it based on my experience with it. If the one I have will fit your truck, I'd make you a deal on it... 73... Mark AA7TA |
