{"product_id":"midland-micromobile-ditch-light-extension-bracket-b","title":"Midland MicroMobile Ditch Light Antenna Extension Bracket","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Midland MicroMobile Ditch Light Antenna Extension Bracket is a black powder-coated steel arm that moves your GMRS antenna out to the hood line. It measures 7 x 1.5 x 0.2 in and carries a 5\/8 in hole sized for a standard NMO antenna mount. Bolt it to most ditch light setups on either the driver or passenger side.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe hood-line spot is a deliberate trade. You give up a little height versus a roof mount, but the antenna stays clear of a roof rack or tent and folds over for low branches instead of snapping. Fitment is universal rather than vehicle-specific, so some setups need minor adaptation to line up the holes. The bracket is the mount only: pair it with an NMO antenna and the MXTA24 coax cable to finish the install.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne install note worth knowing up front: a quarter-wave GMRS antenna wants a ground plane. On a fender mount, scuff the powder coat where the NMO mount and bolts meet bare metal so the bracket grounds clean to the body, or run a no-ground-plane antenna instead. Either path works; the bracket gives you the spot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003caside class=\"boondock-bill\" style=\"position:relative;overflow:hidden;background:#161719 radial-gradient(ellipse 60% 80% at 82% 28%, rgba(199,93,42,0.22) 0%, transparent 60%);border:1px solid #2D2E31;border-radius:12px;padding:24px 28px;margin:24px 0;\"\u003e\n  \u003ch3 style=\"margin:0 0 14px 0;color:#E37545;font-family:Geist,-apple-system,system-ui,sans-serif;font-size:18px;font-weight:700;letter-spacing:-0.01em;\"\u003eBoondock Bill's Take\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;gap:18px;align-items:flex-start;\"\u003e\n    \u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0576\/0404\/6931\/files\/xgrid-boondock-bill.png?v=1779057958\" alt=\"Boondock Bill\" style=\"width:88px;height:88px;border-radius:50%;flex-shrink:0;border:2px solid #C75D2A;background:#0E0F11;object-fit:cover;\"\u003e\n    \u003cp style=\"margin:0;flex:1;min-width:0;color:rgba(245,247,250,0.85);font-family:Geist,-apple-system,system-ui,sans-serif;font-style:italic;font-size:15px;line-height:1.6;\"\u003eBill's grounding trick on these steel brackets: take a little sandpaper to the spots where the NMO mount and the bolts touch metal, get yourself a clean bond, then dab the bare steel with a touch of paint so it don't rust on you. That five-minute step is the difference between a radio that reaches the next rig over the ridge and one that crackles out at the gate. Down at the hood line she folds right over for the low brush too, so you ain't replacing a snapped whip every time the trail gets tight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/aside\u003e","brand":"Iceberg Outdoor Group - Supplier","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44832841105491,"sku":"MDLD-MXTA22","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0576\/0404\/6931\/files\/1MXTA22__06230.1748550277.jpg?v=1780067418","url":"https:\/\/www.xgridoutfitters.com\/ga\/products\/midland-micromobile-ditch-light-extension-bracket-b","provider":"XGRiD Campers","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
