Shark fin antena relocation

[SpawnSS]

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.

Yes I looked at my pics, it should work , also if you take out the third brake light you can see the hole of the plug , but am positive it will work glad you found that one , when I did mine all I found was 2 plugs the one from Amazon and one for toyota, let me know how it went with the plug .

Thank you for checking. Will do, I will keep you posted. I wish I could haha, I have a bed cap. I have to take the interior approach to be able to get to it.

This may be a dumb question, but will it make a difference that my truck has the sunroof? I haven’t looked at the headliner and relative space near the rear window to compare from the pics here. I need to do this mod badly lol

Doesn’t make a difference at all

 

[BlakeOlsen66]

Got it done tonight, thank you for the idea @SpawnSS! It seemed like because of the sunroof the headliner didn’t have quite as much wiggle room to dropso I felt like I had to be extremely delicate to not crease it. Plastic plug shows up from Amazon tomorrow so in the meantime, I just have a sticker over the hole but probably won’t be driving it anyways

For those that did this mod (relocating the shark fin antenna), did you do it to:

1) Fit in your garage
2) Gain extra clearance to add lift/leveling springs/kit
3) Gain extra clearance to add 37s
4) Both #2 and #3
5) None of the above / Other

1,2, and 3 personally. Stock mine was 1/4” from hitting. Reversing while riding the brake it was even closer lol. Once I did 37s there was no way. Now I have some breathing room and going to ADS coilovers up front is a possibility for me. I also like the look better.

Does this get rid of sirius if you just plug this one in?

 

[Air’d outSRT]

It would because it has no antenna for it.

Has anyone taken a height measurement without the shark fin?

Each truck is going to vary a little bit. Are you looking to buy a TRX and want to know if it will fit in your garage? If so, I can measure mine for you.

JetBlue pilot?

not so much for my home garage, that should fit no problem. I'm looking at the TRX or RHO (for the better range) I drive up to the Boston airport and park in the garage there and would want it to fit. My current Gladiator is lifted on 39s and measures 79" tall and fits but the flexible antenna measures to 83.5" and hits at some points. I do fly the blue jet

My TRX is ~79" tall. Add another 3" for the shark fin antenna. Parking a TRX at the airport is risky. If you protect it with an IGLA security system, it will be there when you get back from your trip, but you might be missing a window and the interior might be trashed. I would never recommend the RHO over a TRX, but I'm willing to bet the I6 HO Hurricane is going to be a major theft deterrent.

Not exactly, I would buy a RHO over a TRX
I have had 2 high hp hellcats and a redeye (all chargers) and several other boosted vehicles. My 3.0 big turbo inline 6 would outrun the fastest TRX. I prefer turbo though. I wouldn’t buy either though, trucks aren’t my thing

I'm having issues with Carplay and native navigation getting the correct location after doing this. Something it thinks im on the next street over, sometimes it thinks I'm miles away.

Anyone else have this issue? Any resolutions?
