Currently no, I'm too lazy to fix my other mount for the second antenna for the stereo, it worked pretty good, but technically it's not supposed to. Not sure how well it works over the OEM antenna as my OEM antenna was kinda fubarred right from the get go. lol.

FYI An FGT antenna is a standard 3/8" diameter whereas the FLEX are 1/4" diameter.

he's sending me a return label and (supposedly) a flex-4. i'll be waiting to see if it's the same thing or an actual flex antenna...

other note, i had ordered a cell-phone holder, so i could use the gps in the truck. it turned out to be too narrow, and they sent me another. it was the same width, i took pictures and sent those, along with a "i'm done ordering and waiting" message. so now i have 2 holders. i'm going to try to make 1 into a camera mount, and the other, don't know yet.

i'm trying to sell the arb. it would cost too much time and effort to pull the ifs third, gear it, route a line, and get oba somehow. i was planning on a co2 setup similar to paintball, but was having a hard time finding info.

the e-locker is already geared, already broke-in, and ready to get shoved in the axle. modification isn't going to be too hard. i have a welder at home, and several new grinding wheels. lock and load.
