Wilson 2000 Trucker with 18", 22", and 36" Shafts

GI Joe's Radio Electronics is selling Wilson 2000 Trucker antennas with shaft lengths that are not even shown on the Wilson website.

They offer the Wilson 2000 Trucker with the 5" and 10" shafts that are on the Wilson website and that I see all over the web and at truck stops, etc.

But they also say that you can get the antenna with 18", 22" and 36" shafts, options that I've not seen mentioned anywhere else.

Has anyone else ever heard of the Wilson 2000 Trucker antennas having these longer shaft lengths? I've sent them a message using their contact form on their website but can't seem to get a response. Maybe that in and of itself tells me that I shouldn't do business with them, huh?

In my message to them I just asked if these shaft lengths were in fact available and if so, were they Wilson OEM shafts. In other words, I don't want some kludge made up by them and thus it not be a genuine Wilson product.

I'm thinking of getting either the 22" or 36" shaft length as I've read that it's best to have the coil as high up in the air as possible, that is true correct? The 36" would put the coil above the top of my cab since my mounting location is on the mirror bracket on my Kenworth T660.

 

I was about to order the 36" shaft model from GI Joe's.

When I noticed they were going to charge me $18 for shipping I started doing some checking and read some very disturbing stuff about them.

So, needless to say, I'm not ordering from them.

However, I can't find that antenna with a 36" shaft anywhere else.

So, now I'm looking to purchase the antenna and then the 36" shaft as an "antenna part" somewhere.

 

That would be very kind of you!

If you find one, please PM me your Paypal account or mailing address and how much you want me to send you and I'll send you a payment.

Thanks so much.
