You could always run a CB antenna off your rear cage...give it that desert buggy look...

Our green buggy has an amp'd. antenna mounted up underneath the dash. Did not want to drill holes in the buggy body.

Yeah I had a hidden antennae under the dash of a Nova I had. It worked great, just like the one I believe Jack is running. Summit sells them and not very expensive, I am gonna run one on my buggy.

Under the hood would be the ideal spot
Thanks

I agree. I used an antenna like this:

My buggy is too loud to ever hear a radio

That's true, but it's a good selling point if that day ever comes.

I recently just put a radio in my buggy, I just ran it down the side of the frame, works great! But on my buggy you cant see it unless your really lookin for it. ;-)

Inside your side pods is a good hiding place for things like that. Another good reason to have them.
