Easy, remove the antenna first then, pull the passenger side cowl trim loose by popping out a few plastic push pins, unbolt the antenna base from the fender, put the antenna back on the base, wrap some tape or foam around the antenna mast rotate the base and slide the antenna under the edge of the trim between the windshield and wiper arm.

It completely disapears and the radio still works.

[WILLIAMJRDN]

Is there anything other than XM??

Is there anything other than XM??

Yeah, the much better Sirius!

Well, soon to be one, but at least for now there is some argument...

 

[ballSSdeep]

can pics of this? I have sirius so i would love to eliminate my ant.

 

[webxfx]

that's a great mod, was going to just remove it all together

My reception is fine, AM is very good. Then again, I am not using the stock radio anymore.

 

[Guest]

yeah i have xm too and an aftermarket radio but i do like to listen to the radio i will give this a shot when i have a few min

I removed my antenna completely and use an fm modulator for my mp3 player.. Putting the fm modulator right underneath the radio in the coin dish or whatever its for works awesome; no more shitty Florida gospel stations cuttin in on my music.

 

[ballSSdeep]

anyone do anything special to secure it when they folded it under? or does it just lay flat and rattle around?

[jaylind]

I tried this and lost all HD radio stations. Dam it!

 

[spyder]

thanks for posting

I just took the antenna off because I only listen to CD's and XM. To cover the threaded section left from the antenna I just bough some black rubber caps from Lowes...a 5 pack is like 92 cents...you would never know it was ever there

 

[2k6TBSS]

Can we get some pics of the intsall??? Sounds hella easy...

 

[Prjct86Man]

yes, pics.

Thanks for this suggestion. I know it is an old thread, but I just got around to doing it. Great idea. Saves me the money of buying a stubby and gets rid of the giant mast on the front of the truck. Doesn't seem to have disrupted reception either! Again, great thinking.

 

[SuperSS27]

I came up with this idea back in December of 06'. Here is a pic of how its supposed to look.

 

[ssman07]

BINGO! Thats exactly what mine looks like. It's about time I did something right the first time to this damn truck. Then again, how could you really screw it up LOL? It's definetly a nice free mod.

I’m late for this mod but finally got a cover and the antenna will never be an issue
