Looking for a clean, no-drill way to mount your UHF antenna on your Ford Ranger?
The 001-BB bonnet hinge mount bracket is purpose-built for Ford Ranger PX1, PX2 and PX3 models (2011–2021). It bolts directly to the factory bonnet hinge using existing hardware, giving you a secure, professional-looking installation without modifying your guard or bullbar.
If you want a mounting solution that looks factory and handles real off-road vibration - this is it.
Why Choose a Bonnet Mount?
A bonnet hinge mount is ideal if:
- You don't have a bullbar
- You want to avoid drilling into guards
- Your Ranger has parking sensors or modern front-end electronics
- You prefer a cleaner OEM-style install
This bracket positions your antenna neatly along the bonnet line, maintaining bonnet clearance while reducing vibration under rough touring conditions.
Built for Real 4WD Use
Manufactured from heavy-duty 5mm pressed steel, the 001-BB is engineered for strength. It’s finished in a durable black powder coat to resist corrosion, mud, salt and harsh Australian conditions.
It supports standard UHF antenna bases and maintains full bonnet and wiper operation when installed correctly.
Important:
This bracket suits Ranger PX1, PX2, PX3 (2011–2021) only. It is not compatible with Next-Gen Ranger models (2022+).

Can I install it myself?
Can I install it myself?
If you’re comfortable with basic hand tools, yes. If you’d rather have it done professionally (or you’re adding a radio at the same time), we recommend an installer for best cable routing and performance.
Where does the antenna sit on the vehicle?
Where does the antenna sit on the vehicle?
It positions the antenna neatly at the bonnet/guard area (depending on the model bracket), keeping it accessible while maintaining a clean touring look and avoiding bullbar-mount drawbacks.
Do I need to run an earth/ground strap?
Do I need to run an earth/ground strap?
In many installs the mount will earth through the body, but paint/coatings can sometimes reduce contact. If you experience performance issues, adding a simple earth strap can help ensure a clean ground.
Is the bracket strong enough for off-road vibration?
Is the bracket strong enough for off-road vibration?
Yes - bonnet mounts are a common touring/off-road solution because they’re rigid and supported by factory mounting points. Correct installation and tightening is key for long-term stability.
Will this work with my UHF antenna (heavy duty / long aerial)?
Will this work with my UHF antenna (heavy duty / long aerial)?
Most UHF antennas with standard mounting threads will suit. For heavy-duty springs or large antennas, we recommend checking your antenna base size and ensuring the mount position gives enough clearance to the bonnet edge and wiper area.
Will it affect opening/closing the bonnet?
Will it affect opening/closing the bonnet?
When fitted correctly, it won’t interfere with bonnet operation. It’s designed to maintain clearance and sit securely without rubbing or binding.
Does it require drilling?
Does it require drilling?
No. It’s a bolt-on bonnet/hinge style mount that uses existing mounting points, so you can install it without drilling into the guard.
