cb antenna change?

[schneiderz]

Hey I currently have a 3 ft fiberglass antenna on my truck and am looking at getting a whip since i broke one off the last time i went off roading. Any suggestions on size or where to get?

Buy a spring and keep using a fiberglass antenna...

I correct my statement... but a STAINLESS spring...

or get a 102" stainless steel whip and a spring. lol
i have one of those big azz whips with 3 tennis balls and a racket ball on it that i ran on my dakota for a while in high school. then i realized that looked retarded on a lowered 2wd lol

the CB is still in the dakota, just a little short fiberglass antenna with spring but i'll swap it to the B2 once its road worthy. and put the steel whip on it.

edit: side note: POST 100!!! haha

edit #2: got it from radio shack for ~$23

stainless for sure. regular chrome will turn to rust and look like crap in a very short order.
however, i do have a large ball mount that is "black chrome" and it seems to be of excellent quality.
