Lets see dual 3 and 4 ft whips!

I'm looking into buying a set of dual whips for my 95 F150, and I plan on mounting them to the sides of my tool box. haven't seen many with 3footers but I feel like 4s are too tall. Lets see what you've got!

The 4-footer on the roof will probably work better than dual whips either on the mirrors on on the toolbox, ground planes and such.

When I was heavy into the CB stuff, I used a mag-mount on the roof, usually centered on the roof, unless I wanted to do some tracking, then it went towards the rear of the roof. Easy to take down for clearances and securement.

There was a tri-mag setup available, strong enough to hold a 102" whip on the roof while driving.

Depends if it is being down for looks or performance.

Wish I had a pic of my old 88 ranger with duel 9ft whips, I could listen to truckers two states away. After I went to my 94 f150 I put one on and then traded it to my 06 f350 until the garage door ate it, now I wish that I hadn't sold the other one. On a side note my wife likes to tell me that she would not have marred me if I was still driving my 88 ranger with the dual whips........ Woman are so full of ----, it was soooo awsom before we were dating.Lol
