I had to pick between the dog or wife. As my wife hit a wall yesterday in the FX4, I picked the dog.

..In all seriousness though, I didn't kick her out.

She did hit a wall though. I was upset as any car guy might be, but hey. Stuff happens.



So I took it to the shop to see if I couldn't clean it up a bit.

While I was waiting for the steel to warm up, I took a minute to install my new CravenSpeed stubby antenna. Other than the fact that it took 3 weeks to ship from Portland to Whitehorse, it looks like a nice solid piece that will stand the test of time. I ordered a second one for the '13 that will (one day) show up.


So, a little cleaning wax (crummy Mothers, but it's all I have right now), and it's (mostly) gone. I'll have to get some proper cutting compound but I haven't had a need since my detailing days.



Maybe next weekend.

Looks fine!

No sweat.

But maybe you can make her make it up to you..... LOL.

Madorski

Yes.. It's just a nagging thing, until it's fixed properly... Which means more cutting compound, more wax, blah blah blah...

How is your reception with the new antenna?

Wow! If she has to make a mistake thats a good one, Nice clean up job. How is that antenna, was it easy to remove the stock antennae and put this one on. How much did it cost, I would like to do that on my 2013 never gave it a thought until i just saw yours, that looks so much better.

Cleanup looks good. My wife still hasn't gotten behind the wheel of mine and we've had it over six months.

Try a magic eraser...or some soft scrub...

I know it sucks but at least she's okay right? Trucks can be replaced...

Madorski

On yeah, she's fine. It was while parking - thought there was a little more room, there wasn't.

I'll have to bust out the Magic Eraser.

As for the antenna, I paid $48 for two, and I believe shipping to Canada was $10 or so. He'll ship within the lower 48 for free. The reception seems same as stock, but we only have 3 or 4 radio stations here.
