Help! Need ideas for WeBoost antenna mount **SOLVED**

[braddavis2017]

Hmm yeah I see what you mean. I thought the Tire Carrier Compressor Mount had the extended bracket for either side. Looks to be drivers side only.

I guess the only solution for someone like me is to make another custom bracket for your custom bracket. We’re slowly reaching bracket inception.

Side note but I checked your other threads and didn’t see anything about your Tailgate Compressor install. It seems like you have the exact setup that I would like to use. There’s a great YouTube video on the install, but it completely glosses over routing the wiring. It only really details fixing the bracket and compressor to the tailgate. Any interest in summarizing your project?

This thread will provide all the info you'll probably ever need, including all of the different ways people have wired everything. https://www.bronco6g.com/forum/threads/ags-bronco-air-gate-kit-installed.65331/

AGS also sells their own wiring harness now: https://agsoffroad.com/products/crystalux-25-power-extension-harness-for-arb-twin-compressors

But I imagine most, including myself, would recommending just running 2awg or 4awg to a distribution block in the back of the truck and then you can run power for multiple things down the road. I ran the Expedition Essentials harness my first install and ended up pulling it out and running 4awg to a distro block when I needed to power a new sub amp, starlink, compressor, battery charger, etc.

Also, keep in mind that we are talking about slightly different products. Your pictures are of the AGS compressor mount (They also sell this mount in two different kits now. One kit has the chuck mount for between the spokes of your wheel, the other kit now includes the antenna/chuck mount.) I have the AGS tailgate reinforcement that has the compressor mount built into it. The tailgate reinforcement has a mounting point on the passenger side as well and AGS has a couple of options there. I bought the passenger side Rotopax bracket (TGR Accessory Bracket), and that bracket has slots for the antenna/chuck mount or something like my mount to be mounted on the passenger side.

but also, I’m not totally clear on what you’re trying to accomplish that is limiting your options.

Thanks for the thread! I’ll definitely take a look and start brushing up.

So as far as I understood from your photos, the custom bracket you had machined attaches to the AGS antenna/Chuck location. Circled in image attached:

The Weboost then folds down towards the passenger side.

My original plan was to do the opposite: mount the custom bracket to the passenger side and have the Weboost fold down to the driver side. But it looks like I’m limited to the design of the AGS bracket, as the antenna/Chuck extension is built into the design and is drivers side only.

Yes, to mount the WeBoost on the passenger side using my mount you would need to do the tailgate reinforcement with the accessory mount and then you could mount the WeBoost on the passenger side and fold it down toward the drivers side.

I did the swarfworks antenna mount and drilled it with 3 holes to fit the weboost. Works great for me !

Headed to CO (Crested, Pearl Pass, etc) tomorrow with this last minute setup. Tried not to overthink it. Will fix it right some time on the road - plenty of mounting holes on the JCR swing outs and this Turner basket, but a lot of other gear mounted already) .

It’ll do!

Did you get rid of your third brake light?

Took me only a year. 3x c1r. Think I messed up my camera wire when I left it hang for a few seconds ...

Yes lol did this previously
