Wow that 50cal is cool. Lol. Does it work at well as the factory?

The .50 cal is is better than the regular CravenSpeed stubby, but not as good at HD radio reception as the factory antenna.

no. a standard antenna whip is 31.5" for a specific reason.

I forget to mention that mid-perch improve the look PLUS the ride quality. It should be a simple modification. It is the first modification for most of the FRF members.

Ok so I read here about someone rigging the back seat fold down thingy and went to work on mine,, this is what I came up with,

Tie wire in the small gap so it doesn't slip off, I tried it on the post and had some issues with it falling off..

Loop around headrest,

Cut a camera lanyard in half and melted the ends with a lighter to make a hard bump then threaded the wire through it,,

Tied the wire,,

Cleaned up,

And closed,

Did it to both sides and seems to work well, to close I just pull the little rod to the top, set seat against it, lower butt pad and give it quick walk with forearm and it locks back up easily. Now I have access to the amp. I also wired the base modular into the center consul for the hell of it lol..

Not sure what your budget is but here are a few mods to consider:

1- Mid-perch adjustment
2- Stubby antena
3- Tint windows, break lights and 3rd break light
4- Recon (I know people don't like them) blacked out mirror reflectors, or mirror turn signal conversion
5- Recon STV LED backlit emblem
6- Bakflip F1 bed cover
7- LED footwell lighting front/rear
8- 30in LED light bar behind the grill (upper)
9- 40in LED light bar behind the grill (lower)
10- Vision x light cannons
11- Bubba Rope with 2 D-shackles (just for good measure)

Your an awesome wife and a BIG thank you to your husband for his service!

How about a CAI, pretty inexpensive and sounds great.

I vote for Mid Perch and a bed cover. Comfort and functionality with looks as a side benefit. And yea, this guys is very lucky to have the OP as a wife.
