Shorty antenna Recommendations ??

I've seen folk remove the whole thing and lay it inside the big space inside of the fender and zip tie it off. I forget what was used to plug the hole. I will do some digging around. I know it was something common.

Is there such thing as an antenna delete and a plug to cover the hole?

Copy and paste...


1. Unscrew antenna whip and then OPEN hood
2. Pull snap tabs on antenna/cowl cover from bottom first then the side.
3. Unbolt antenna base
4. Reattach antenna whip
5. Route antenna down fender and secure with a few zip ties
6. Get one of the round grommets from the bed
7. Trim the bottom rubber part of antenna cover area where antenna hole is with a razor on the bottom so the grommet attaches securely
8. Place grommet in the hole and snap cover back in from side first then bottom.

I have no idea. This idea, was stolen from the web. I was relaying an option for the question @nabatron had.

I use a 50cal shell.
