    It is hard to see the antenna but it looks similar to one I had previously purchased. There was some loss of signal but what really bothered me was a whistling at highway speeds. I finally found a different antenna, about the same height that had the same type of wire wrapped around it as the OEM antenna. No wind noise now.

    Do you have a link to the antenna you got from O'Reilly's? or a brand name or anything? I'd like to replace mine with a shorter one also.

    It would look cleaner if I just cut it off with a jigsaw rather than hammering it back, but it accomplishes the same thing. And when painted black, you can't tell. That pic was from when I wire wheeled everything off so you can see every dent in it.

    Rear lines finally. Had them for too long and tired of worrying about ripping them out.

    Wish me luck!!!

    Good luck! Although I'd use pb blaster or liquid wrench instead. At least switch to that if you start meeting too much resistance. I rounded out one of mine because dammit that metal is soft.

    Too many people believe half of the things that WD-40 say it can do. It's marketing is on par with Fram.

    All WD-40 does well is displace water

    Plus it kinda looks like your truck has a "red rocket" situation going on.:rofl: Good luck unseeing that!

    That us offroad bumper looks really good. How do you like it? It is on my short list.
