You will find that some and now maybe most off road facilities and trail runs will not allow the 102" whip for safety reasons; someone watching on the sidelines can get hit and even take out an eye.
The old technology, the 102", is just that old, looks OK but it is still only a 1/4 wave antenna vs the new technology, the fiberglass whip, which can be anything from a 1/2 to 3/4 wave antenna depending on what length you like.
My favorite antenna for trail use is the 2 foot Wilson Flex-i-whip, (which comes in lengths from 2 to 5 feet) it has a thin fiberglass whip, can be mounting just about anywhere there has a good grounding point and work reasonably well on longer distances.
I leave the 2-footer on sometime after a run because I forget about it being shorter.
It is mounted using a Quick Disconnect (DQ) and it is interchanged with longer antennas depending on what I am doing.
I use a 4-foot fiberglass Flex-i-Whip for everyday use and an older seven footer for long distance once I am in a campsite. All of the antennas are set up with a QD and a spring.
Now the QD and the spring can cause you trouble when tuning the antenna to the system but it can be done, if you have no need for the QD and spring then don't do it, just run the antenna.
What brand - the main thing here is "do not use Rat Shaq ". I suggest Wilson as my first choice but most people use FireStik and there are other brands out there. The antenna is the most important part of the complete system and you should spend a couple of extra bucks on it, don't skimp here.
The next thing to spend a little extra on is the coax, buy Belden or Time Micro Wave Coax only... Belden being the most common, any truck stop or Ham Radio Shop will have both.
Make sure to get a good ground for the antenna mount.
If using a mag-mount attached to the body then it should be good but if you are attaching a mount to the bed or to a bumper or rack, make sure to attach an additional ground wire from the body part or mount to the frame getting to bare metal at all connections, use external tooth star lock washers and use a conductive anti-corrosion paste on the connection.
An get the antenna tuned for lowest SWR (Standing Wave Ratio).
You will need an SWR Meter and someone that knows what they are doing but it isn’t hard to do.
luck,
