Bronco Radio Antenna - Garage Clearance

[rcl4668]

Hey all, hope everyone is staying safe and healthy. Based on the great info on the site and from Ford, it looks like the height of a 2021 Bronco Badlands *without* the Sasquatch Package and with the roof rails installed is 77.3'' Just met with my garage guy today and we managed to increase the door height to 80''. Victory, right? Well, I just now noticed on the online build webiste that the radio antenna extends even further above the roof rails. Does anyone know if this antenna is fixed or is telescoping when the radio is off? I'm really hoping it's the latter. Thanks!

Looks fixed. They bend though. Or buy a stubby antenna.

Fixed but I'll bet a stuby will be available soon after.

Ok, I'm stumped. What is that?

Let that sucker bend. You already re-engineered your house for the Bronco, it needs to bend to you now.

Back in the day, CBs had 102" whip antennas. Garages were a problem. This is a clip to tie them down...

Jeep has these you can buy. Bronco probably will to.

Yup, that’s a big 10-4! Even the fixed antennas bend a fair amount. The one on my Lightning went “twang” for 25 years going in and out of the garage. (45 degree corners)

Looks like a full wave antenna you HAM.
