Introducing 2nd and 3rd gen antenna cover replacements

a silicone .. tool could form and fit into any hole you want to put it into. economical and available as a commercial off the shelf piece of.. "soft" ware.

.. there are hard ones too.

 

@Anderson, if I install my Drifter with the OEM shark-fin, do you think I could swap it out for your Bullet without taking the Drifter off? I have installed aluminum bedrail caps from KB Voodoo. Vagabond tells me the Drifter will fit with the OEM Shark-fin. I just don’t know how hard it will be to the the fin out with the camper in the way. I am guessing not possible.

 

It’s entirely possible. I have been doing the removal/install on my own truck this way since the beginning. Caveat emptor being I still have the factory bedside caps on. That should change in a few weeks and then I’ll do another test fit of the antenna. That way I’ll have a definitive answer to your question.

 

Good news. I guess I could do a hack saw cut of the fin and epoxy before I install the Drifter. It doesn’t have to be pretty. That way I would have room to get it off if I needed to.

 

Thats what I did to my fin when I installed my FrontRunner rack and the rack was hitting it.

 

Okay, I got a box of covers today.

I still need to finish up the website to take orders.

those of you wanting a cover, pm me and we can get the ball rolling.

sorry I didn’t have one for you when your Drifter was ready for delivery. Timing didn’t quite work out.

these are in stock and ready to ship.

 

That looks great on the truck! Can’t wait till the 3rd gen model is available

 

The 3rd Gen is infinitely more difficult to design. The am/fm antenna is integrated into the shark fin. We are designing our own am/fm antenna to integrate into our new design.

 

So the ones on the website right now are for the 2nd Gen correct? I'm in for a 3rd gen

 

Are you guys redesigning the whole piece electronics and all? or just the cover? I just need the cover to be flat - from the looks of it, it doesn't even need to stick up, looks like they went for a "cool" shark fin look when it could have been flat from the start.

 

We are just redesigning the cover.

the 3rd Gen has the am/fm antenna mounted in the upper portion of the dorsal fin. Making it flat requires quite a bit of reworking.

 

I take it the silver piece at the top is involved? I'm a little confused as to what makes it more work...

 

Have you seen the one @MESO did with another company? Can't remember the company name at the moment...

 

Im not near the antenna right now to take better pictures. So, yes, the little metal piece at the top is the am/fm antenna.
