Oh no I’ve modified my truck with aftermarket parts! For some reason Ford still puts giant whip antennas on their trucks. This might make sense if there was some radio reception benefit, but the reception is crap even with the big antenna. Got sick of snagging it on tree branches constantly and bought this CravenSpeed “Stubby” antenna. Seems to get pretty much the same reception and doesn’t hit the tree in my front yard every time I park in the driveway. Yay!

Ruby does not care about the antenna.

I also found this 2-pack of receiver plugs for stupid cheap on Amazon and stuck one on the truck and the other on the Outback. Murrica!
