Shark fin antena relocation

[Mmack911]

Wow that video looks like it is a pretty in depth process to remove and relocate the fin. Id probably have a professional do it myself.

Yeah mine is the same i just took off the brake light with the camera cause i put a canopy , once the light is off drop the head liner a bit open the rear window so its easy to put the antena there

 

[SpawnSS]

I did try that. Mine is a loaded level 2 with the camera and whatever else. I was told that the headliner would need to be dropped to remove the light.

I pulled the screws and the light was still on therE VERY tight. Didn’t want to brake anything so I put the screws back.

I get that feeling but i dont let any one touch my vehicles , ive had too much bad luck taking expensive vehicles to shops, but once you over come that fear brother youll do so much to your vehicles , I had a challenger hellcat and i was scared to drill in the hood , all 3 of my hellcats i pinned the crank that too me was scary, and now to my 2500 i drilled 15 holes for the clearance lights lol.

There's a gasket around the back of the light just try to start pulling the light off near a corner

I know this is an old thread but was hoping someone who did this could give a little insight on what they did with the sharkfin inside the vehicle.

Do you attach it somewhere? Ziptie it? 3m tape? Does it matter the orientation of it?

My truck that I just bought yesterday jussssst fits in my garage but I'm pretty sure if I had a little more tire pressure of roll over a stone incorrectly I'd be in trouble. Removing the fin is my best bet but I want to keep the functionality.

Hello, no the orientation doesnt matter, i didnt use any tape or zip tie , I just put in side the liner and its been there with no problem or issues I did it for the same reason hitting the top of the garage.

Thank you sooooo much. This really saved me. I had a 16 f150 that didn't fit in the garage well width wise cause the mirrors. So I manually would fold the drivers mirror in to give me a few inches. I didn't give it a thought when I bought this ram truck that it would sit higher. I got doe eyed when I saw extra hd shocks front and back and was sold. I missed the part that it also has a 1 inch lift as well.

Would you mind providing a pic of this? Trying to figure out where to relocate as well. Thanks.

it fits behind the third brake light, there's lots of room up there. You can see a pic of it on his first post

Really? Nothing about that “looks good”. The only good thing is that hardly anyone will see that fender washer screwed to the roof.

Sorry you don't like it , it's intended so you can park the TRX in your garage, specially if it's lifted like mine are.

Nah, I get why it would be done. Just don’t think it “looks good”. I don’t think the stock shark fin looks good either. Boggles my mind that the shark fin is the best they can come up with.

 

[SpawnSS]

I agree , I hated the fin, but at the same time I needed the darn fin , I went looking everywhere online for something and I spoke to a guy that had a vw he took out the rear wiper and sealed it with that plug so bought that black one, and another plug used in toyota tacomas, the Toyota is in metal and its bulky as hell, so went with that one , there was a guy who relocated the fin but he put it in the front dash on top lol, I can't do that, so that was the best I found and was able to park both trucks in my garage and both are lifted.

Would this one work? Anyone know what size is the hole?

This one is smaller by 2mm compared to the one from Amazon in the link that was provided. But it’s billet aluminum in and out. It’s flush. Without having the bolt head popping out. Same style as the plastic one from Amazon.
