I NEED THAT SPRING!!! which i also wonder if thats what is making it hard to tune

 

The spring its self makes it hard to tune. The antenna starts where the coax ends. So that spring increases the effective length of the antenna making it tune out of by length. Being that most Firesticks are tuned by a adjustable bolt there is not enough room to get a tune. A Tiger antenna is tuned by trimming the wire so it is possible to make it short enough for correct SWR.

 

The spring comes with the Firestick and stud mount

 

well that jumps the shipping charge as I'm never north of denver

Thanks for confirming my theory @thefatkid

 

I'll be in Longmont the weekend of the 14th and driving down to Lone Tree on the 16th so I can play mule if anyone needs it...

 

i don't think using the spring with the firestik is a good option, reading what brian was saying adding the spring is what makes it hard to tune. Someone should just pick up this and take the spring out and then tune it and it will be A OK!!!

 

It might be a faulty antenna, but there's nothing wrong with Firestiks. If I were having trouble getting that thing to tune, probably the first thing I'd do is eliminate the spring to rule it out. Aaaaanddd other people have already said this.

 

Boy oh boy do I love selling wheels and tires... It's too bad it hasn't happened for a while...


*be the passive aggressive, love the passive aggressive*

 

I don't get in traffic on the way o
ut of Denver but I've never come back without getting stuck

 

You get stuck just sittling tim traffic!!! I thought the snow bank was bad but this one tops it.

 

Oh, I thought this would be a come get it type of thing.

If you really want me to mail you the spring I can. That is if I can get the antenna off of it. I seem to remember it being "Jon'd" on there.

 

nope, i don't want it as it will make my already existing firestik not work nearly as well

someone go get that thing and tune it without the spring!!!!

 

How many do you have left? By the time I saw your post, it looked like you already had three of them lined up. If someone dropped out, I might be interested in a set of two.

 

As a matter of fact, I do have 2!

 

Awesome, what's your asking price for the tires and wheels together? The soonest I'd be able to pick them up would be this weekend.

 

I'm asking $250 for both, since they've only got 6,000 miles on them and basically look new, especially so after I shined them and washed the wheels.

 

Still interested?

 

Ya, I'll PM you to set up the details.
