    English Paint and Color will laser match your paint to try to get as close as possible. Check to see if there is one near you that will do it!

    Nope, is this something only special shops do? Last body shop I went to told me it would have to be resprayed to match at all.

    Why do you want a 4' over the 3'?

    Since I'm putting a lot more stuff on my roof, I want to keep the antenna taller than the highest thing on my truck. Also, a longer antenna will probably tune better

    My damn airbag light came on, I installed an amp a couple weeks ago and wondered if that could be related.

    Didn't reset it but it did go off by itself one startup then came back on a minute later.

    Haha yeah. They don't have passenger side airbags, so there isn't a keyed switch.

    Hell, I whack the tar out of my 3 footer in some low garages where they have signs that hang down even lower. But once I get my roof basket installed, my truck may not be garage friendly at all. But if it still fits, I can bend the antenna forward and tie it off to the bottom of the basket

    Lol he obviosuly hasn't. My shits got one airbag. One powerful ass airbag at that.
    The amp is behind the radio and some of the wires hang low enough to rest on the airbag module. With all the wires being shield and a plastic cover over top of the module though I highly doubt that's the root of the problem.

    You never know though, probably gonna swing be the dealership and see what they say. At least the manual says that is an urgent thing when the light comes on.
