    Looks good..
    I have been considering a "shark fin" antenna but am concerned with fitment issues.
    This option uses the factory base so no issues.
    Nice find.
    Will weld for beer.

    Ichabod, where did you find yours? I've been looking all over for one like that. Looks good.

    It's my stock antenna.
    I pulled the tip off, cut it down then glued the tip back on.
    I recommend using a cut off wheel or the edge of a file to cut it down as it's fiberglass. I used side cutters and it frayed the end a little.

    I just think that our current stock antenna gets pretty bad reception already, cutting it up will surely worsen it.
