It's a carbon fibre and aluminium 4.7" antenna off of amazon for $7-10.
Then I cut it down to about 4" after I took these picture.

I may have missed it, but how did you tint your tail lights?

First picture is stock tail lights on a black truck as a reference.



I pulled the tail lights off the truck and put masking tape around the the led running lights that the 502A package has (took hours to get it perfect).
Applied 4-5 light coats of VHT tail light tint.
I also did the red part o the third brake light.



I was looking to make them dark without being cop bait. Hence the dark red not black colour.
I left the led running light factory to give it a custom look and make sure cops wouldn't hassle me.

Winter set up with the factory side steps on the truck.
I hate the way the chrome looks, but it saves the paint from rocks.

Little trail run today while I had some time to waste, trails got a little skinny at a couple points.
The snow was anywhere from 10"-18" deep depending on where I was.
Picked up a box full of firewood while I was in the bush too.

Always cool to trace new roads in freshly poor snow

Looks real nice. Do you have a part number on the tail light covers or was that a custom tint?
