Why Choose a Bonnet Mount?
A bonnet hinge mount is ideal if:
- You don’t have a bullbar
- You want to avoid drilling into body panels
- You prefer an OEM-style appearance
- You want a stable mounting solution for touring
This bracket positions your antenna neatly along the bonnet line while maintaining bonnet functionality and reducing vibration under rough driving conditions.
Built for Touring & Work Use
Manufactured in Australia from heavy-duty 5mm pressed steel, the 003-BB is designed to handle serious off-road use and daily work vehicles alike.
The durable black powder-coated finish resists corrosion, mud, salt air and harsh conditions.
It supports standard UHF antenna bases and maintains full bonnet operation when installed correctly.
Clearance Note
On some vehicles using the second bonnet stay position, antenna placement may sit close to the wiper arm. Correct positioning and antenna choice is important for proper clearance.

Will this fit the Toyota Hilux N80 (2015+)?
Will this fit the Toyota Hilux N80 (2015+)?
Yes. This bracket is designed specifically for Toyota Hilux N80 models from 2015 onwards, including GR Sport and Rogue variants.
Will the antenna interfere with the wipers?
Will the antenna interfere with the wipers?
In most standard installations, bonnet and wiper operation are maintained. However, on some vehicles using the second bonnet stay position, certain long antennas may sit close to the wiper arm. Choosing the correct antenna height and positioning ensures proper clearance.
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.
