Oricom BBR003 Bonnet Bracket for Toyota Hilux 2015+

Vehicle-specific bonnet mounting for secure UHF antenna installation on Toyota Hilux

The Oricom BBR003 Bonnet Mount Bracket provides a factory-engineered mounting solution specifically designed for Toyota Hilux (2015 onwards) models. This heavy-duty bracket enables secure installation of UHF CB antennas and compatible communication accessories directly to the bonnet, positioning the antenna for optimal transmission and reception without drilling into the roof or requiring complex mounting modifications.

Constructed from 6mm high-grade stainless steel—the thickest in the BBR series—and finished with a black powder coating, the bracket withstands Australian offroad conditions including corrugations, dust, water crossings, and salt exposure. The vehicle-specific design ensures proper fitment to Hilux bonnet contours and bolt patterns, delivering a professional appearance that integrates cleanly with the vehicle's lines. Installation requires basic hand tools and follows the existing bonnet structure, avoiding permanent vehicle modifications.

Whether fitting out a work ute for site communications, preparing a touring rig for convoy travel, or equipping a remote area vehicle for emergency communications, this bracket provides the foundation for reliable UHF antenna mounting on Australia's most popular 4WD platform.

Features & Benefits

Vehicle-Specific Engineering — Purpose-designed fitment for 2015+ Hilux bonnet profiles ensures correct positioning, secure mounting, and professional appearance without universal bracket compromises.

6mm Stainless Steel Construction — Heaviest-gauge stainless steel in the BBR series provides maximum rigidity and antenna support under high-speed highway travel, offroad vibration, and harsh environmental exposure without flexing or corroding.

Black Powder Coat Finish — Durable powder coating protects against stone chips, UV degradation, salt corrosion, and chemical exposure while matching modern vehicle aesthetics for a factory-style appearance.

Bonnet Mounting Position — Locates UHF antenna forward of the cabin for improved transmission patterns and reception characteristics compared to rear-mounted or bumper-mounted alternatives.

No Roof Drilling Required — Eliminates permanent roof penetrations that risk water leaks, structural compromise, or warranty concerns, while maintaining vehicle resale value and interior headliner integrity.

Corrosion-Resistant Design — Stainless steel core with powder coat protection handles coastal environments, river crossings, and tropical humidity common in Australian touring conditions.

Simple Installation Process — Bolts to existing bonnet structure using basic hand tools, following Toyota's design without requiring specialized equipment or professional fabrication services.

Heavy-Duty Hilux Application — Extra thickness accommodates the demanding usage patterns common to Australia's best-selling 4WD, from mine site work trucks to remote touring rigs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this bracket fit older Hilux models before 2015?

No, the BBR003 is specifically engineered for Hilux models from 2015 onwards. Earlier generation vehicles have different bonnet profiles and require different bracket models. Verify your vehicle's manufacture year before purchase.

Why is this bracket thicker than other BBR models?

The 6mm thickness provides additional rigidity for the Hilux platform, which commonly experiences heavy-duty usage in work, touring, and mining applications requiring maximum bracket strength and durability.

Does this bracket come with mounting hardware?

Mounting hardware specifications not provided by manufacturer. Verify hardware inclusion with supplier before purchase, or source appropriate stainless steel bolts and washers for installation.

Can I mount accessories other than UHF antennas?

The bracket is designed primarily for UHF CB antenna mounting but may accommodate other compatible communication accessories. Verify accessory weight and mounting pattern compatibility before installation.

Does bonnet mounting affect antenna performance compared to roof mounting?

Bonnet mounting provides effective UHF transmission for most applications, though roof-mounted antennas typically offer slightly better omnidirectional patterns. Bonnet mounting eliminates roof drilling while maintaining practical communication range for touring and work applications.
