    UHF location

    I know owners of D4's without bullbars stick their uhf aerial on the side of the bonnet but this has taken it to a whole new level.
    Came across this toyota in the car park and found they had mounted their uhf aerial at the back of the bonnet - how are you supposed to open the bonnet (first take off the aerial) then pop the bonnet, and what if you forgot to remove the aerial before opening the bonnet - ouch. never seen this before and cannot understand the logic behind the location - can someone explain.

    Agreed ^^
    And may even give better transmission/reception in the forward direction than being mounted right at the front on the bull bar.

    It's a Toyota, you never need to open the bonnet 😀

    I saw one on a Ranger which had been mounted in a similar location, but as the bonnet opened the UHF moved back with it until it was laying on the windscreen.

    UHF location

    Plenty of pics.

    They don’t appear to make any for LRs.
