Thanks for the idea, I wish more easy to do mods were posted up like this one
I think if we keep this guy around there may be more.
Surely between all of us, we can come up with lots of cool little mods.. I got this idea from Zach (slowtowpig) A Ford owner on Diesel Bombers.. But I try to share any writeups I do on all 3 sites that I visit daily. Like I said, we all have to learn somewhere, and if we share knowledge in our communities, the new guys wont have to look so hard to find it.
the spring or the shaved antenna
I like them both, no loss of radio reception at all, as far as the spring, i've had it so long it seems normal now.

Schweeet... ! Maybe Pat should do this to help with aerodynamics for the LSR Casper.. lol or does LSR Casper even have a radio in it?
What a good idea. I always hate going through car washes and watching that antenna get bent around.
I love it!! Thanks for sharing. Now the wife's antenna won't hit the door going in and out of the garage. She'll think I'm the best ever for fixing that. :angel:
that's a awsome and super simple mod. Great idea!!!!!!
I wish I would have done that instead of buying the short aluminum one.
If I could only do that to the CB whip, i'd be set.........

You guys getting any loss in reception doing this? I tucked mine next to the fender and my radio sucks now
Seems as though having the antenna near the engine isn't great anyway, maybe moving it under a bed rail would be better?
I'm pretty disappointed it didn't work out well.

No problems for me.. Mines been done this way for quite some time now and Im very happy with it.. You dont have any bare wire showing do you? like on the antenna there is a little wire wrapped around it all the way up, if its grounding out that might hinder your reception..
