    I was looking into changing my antenna out for a different one and I know the antenna on our trucks has to come out but I can't see exactly how it does. If anyone knows how to take our antenna out please let me know! Thank you!

    No I dont believe I would need to just to change antennas would I? Or would the base need to come out as well? Is there some type of tool needed or to help get it off? I've tried simply trying to twist it by hand and havent really seemed to get anywhere. I haven't fooled with it much but I figured if it came out that way it would have very easily, but that could be just my misjudgment :rolleyes:

    Yeah they unscrew. But to take the whole thing out you might have to go in from the fender.
