    Yeah I thought about putting a 2' or 3" antenna, but it would have still been in the way of my ditch lights. This way I don't have to do any major changes to the radio or body and can still pop in the antenna if I need to.

    The antenna in my 99 4runner is needing ripped out, due to interfering with the ditch light.

    for all of you whose antenna are interfering with the ditch lighting, can we see some pics? I've a stubby on my 09, and it doesn't get in the way on how mines is aimed. my full size one didn't either, but I didn't want to possible hang it up on something. if I got into a tree line or something.
