    Isn't dog food slang for Army cafeteria food?

    If anyone sends me two of these fins I'll find a way to put them on my old catchsurf beater and film the results

    It's there so when your garage door doesn't go fully up you can back into it. For that your shark fin no longer will sit flush to the roof. You will also have a nice dent in the rear corner of the cab which caused a half dollar size piece of paint to flake off. To keep all that company there will be generous rub marks in the paint between the shark fin and the corner. However you will get lucky in that the high-mount brake light wasn't remodeled and the garage door only suffered a cosmetic crease in the bottom section.

    Of course all of the above is totally theoretical and not based on any real life scenario. I wish :(

    “Fin” looks a hellialot better than the Chevy, GMC, and Ford pickup radio/satellite antenna which is offset over either the driver or passenger side of the truck that looks stupid. At least Toyota put it in the center/rear of the roof!:bananadance:

    It’s for sitting on. Keeps you from sliding off. If you want a real thrill, rock back and forth.
