Pre-running is an aspect of hardcore off-road racing.  Pre-runners are part
of the support crew for an off-road racing team and often run the course
prior to the actual racing vehicle.  That said, mag mount antennas will be
the very first thing torn off the vehicle.  Any decent dual-band VHF/UHF
radio will work, but will be barely adequate!  Rugged mil-spec type radios
will work better!  Antenna mounts should be permanent and provision for a
backup spare antenna in case of roll-over should be a consideration as
well.  Installation should be pretty straight forward as long as provisions
are made for bulletproof mounting of radio and antenna!   These types of
vehicles are subject to massive vibration and intense pounding - install
accordingly!!!

To get a rugged enough radio, it may be necessary to go to single band
radios like the Kenwood TM-281 or similar ruggedized mil-spec radios.

Pre-runners are essentially specially built task specific off-road racing
vehicles!!!
