    Any advice on antenna? Type and mount? My long term plan includes an Amateur radio, if that matters. My main plan was to get the HAM to coord pickups for wilderness canoe trips.

    I have a firestick fiberglass antenna mounted to my hood(my mount makes the cable rub against my fender so its a little dented/scratched).i like my antenna because i can tune the swr from the antenna(some of the whips you have to cut them shorter). If you do prefer a whip antenna id look at the Wilson models theyre good. But whips tend to be magnetic mounted which is good and bad. Ill edit this for more info once im at home on my computer.

    Damn dude that rack is actually sick!!!!

    As far as alignments I've started to do my own for 2 reasons.

    1- I got tired of getting charged for getting the thing on the rack and them being like 'Well we cant set your tow because its lowered'
    2 - I fucks with my suspension alot and alignments are expensive.
