    I went with this one https://www.amazon.com/FireStik-SS-...73411&sr=1-2&keywords=firestick+antenna+mount

    I only put in two screws to get the tailgate to close. Was solid, I ran that for a year then I added the flag to the antenna so I added 2 more screws and shaved the heads on it. Still solid and gives me peace of mind. Also military surplus tie down is dope

    No problem. Also check this out on radio frequency based on CB antenna placement

    Yea this is what I am going to be fighting.

    Here is my tent. Really limits using the bed, but it was in the budget until a RTT is feasible so not much I can do but work with it.

    Finally pulled the trigger on some Redline hood struts.
    Used the 15% ebay coupon that everyone wants to create new threads about.
    Ended up being just a little cheaper than ordering from Redline direct, and quicker shipping.

    That's pretty slick. Did you use any double sided tape to keep the mats down?

    Website says they won't be shipping out anything for another 5 days because they are out exploring. Oddly though my order shipped almost immediately but I only got 2/3 I ordered. Not sure what happened but I'm sure it'll get resolved when they're back. They make some dope patches.

    I literally got asked Yesterday, "Why do you have rocket propellant on your gas can?" I said "You see that NASA Sticker? I'm going to the moon in this thing."

    I painted it on there for kicks, often times at stop lights the people behind me point and laugh. Glad someone else caught it

    I put the label and the sticker together pretty quick. Just pray you don't get in an accident and the cop calls in the EOD team or some shit!

    I did a similar thing to my water jug. Has gotten a few concerned looks, especially since you can't see the "water" label when it is strapped in the back of my truck. All you see is that warning label, and "Property of the USG"
