Reviews for Quadratec Extreme Duty Stainless CB Radio Antenna Rear Tailgate Mount with 48" Antenna for 18-21 Jeep Wrangler JL

Exactly what I was looking for. Easy install. Longest part is running wire cleanly below carpet/trim.

Fits great on my JLU. Very easy to install.

The kit is very well made and the install was easy. You don't have to remove the Jeep logo panel from the tailgate panel. I would check your ground at the hinge connection with a multimeter. I found the hinge threads were covered with body paint and didn't get a good ground until I removed the paint, After that I was able to reuse the factory mount bolt. I hooked up my SMR meter after the install was complete and found the antenna tune was 1.1 on channel 1 and 1.5 on channel 40 which is below the 2.0 max SMR, but while I had it hooked up I shortened the antenna and got a final reading of 1.1 (Ch1) and 1.2(Ch40).

Perfect fit! Took my time and did it right so it took me about 90 minutes or so. Love the look and the quality of the products.

All the parts are solid quality and this went together with little issue in just over an hour. Biggest issue I found was self induced was pulling the rear passenger panel off. I was worried I was breaking it by pulling too hard. The only other problem I had was with the rubber grommet on the rear tail gate because it is a water tight. I absolutely love the way it is hidden by the rear tire and looks very professional, even when installed by someone as ham handed as myself. GOOD JOB on the design guys!

Simple install. Ran the wire the same time I did my tow hitch wiring harness which made everything convienient and simple.

The kit that I was looking for to install comms on my 2018 Jeep JLUR. Everything needed to do a correct installation without having to cut, drill, or make other modifications to the vehicle. I did purchase a 3' antenna in addition to the 4' that came with the kit. In addition, purchased the quick release connector for the antenna for ease of swapping out antennas. In addition, I did purchase a mike mount from another online supplier to make the interior installation cleaner. Highly recommend this kit.

Easy install and perfect fit.

The kit worked great and the antenna was set perfectly. I tested it with a meter after installation. One thing I found out the hard way is the little, square plastic piece around the seat belt has to be pried up from the front. It has clips on the right and left side with plastic tabs along the back edge. I had everything loose and couldn't figure out how to get it out. Then one of the clips broke off and it came apart. Also there is a square cover with a white bolt under it. That bolt doesn't need to come out. The installation instructions are pretty thorough, but little things like that should definitely be noted. My only complaint is the quality of the stainless brackets. They are just lasered out and left sharp and scratched up. I uploaded a photo to show the before and after, when I cleaned one up. You can see the jagged burr left around the edges after cutting. I actually cut my had when I almost dropped one and held on tighter to keep from dropping it. I wished they would have just thrown them in a tumbler for 20 minutes or so, to deburr them and give a uniform finish.

Easy install once I YouTubed a video on removing the trim panels. All the parts to do the job are in the package. I didn't use the included antenna as I already had one from my JK. I would do a SWR tune to make sure even thought theysay it was pretuned. There was plenty of cable to go behind the passenger side all the way to the front seat and to the center console. Still have 2'-3' to spare. I would give a full 5⭐ if there were better instructions or a video to watch. I recommend: https://youtu.be/zAjB-yurDYo
