Nice, I just installed a stubby on my XLT today. I was occasionally hitting the warning bars on 6'-8" parking garages. Seems like an odd design choice there.
Same here - scared the crap out of me during my first trip to the train station garage. Thought I wrecked the roof of my new truck…thank god it was just that lighting rod!

I have the cravenspeed “stubby” and I have noticed zero change in reception.

Was it easy to remove them to paint?
Yes it was. I removed the two screws at the bottom of the inner wheel well. That gives you enough room to get your fingers behind and push the bottom tab of the light out. Then you just pop it out.

Any pics with them lit up to see how they look?
Will take some - it’s very dim as I really sprayed it on thick for a deeper black color but can still see a faint amber light. If you do a lighter coating, would let much more light through, it just be more of a “smoked orange” look vs “straight black”.

This antenna been working well for you?
I don’t listen to the radio, CarPlay every day, so I don’t have an opinion on it vs stock. It’s a super high quality piece though, very nice product, it’s not some cheapo Chinese garbage…and it’s still plenty high up, so imagine it’s fine! You can also get one that’s slightly longer if you want a bit more height - this is 2”, think they make a 4

My RR is stuck on Ramp 59 in purgatory after being marked built 6/30… so I can only look at it in a pile of things waiting to install.

Any thoughts on tinting the third brakelight housing with that VHT spray? Normally I do my reflectors in plastidip. Too lazy so far on this truck, the marker light hasnt bothered me. Looks good how yours turned out.

I scrapped my order and went with plan B for a RR on a lot already. Installed the antenna and it's working great! Quality piece for sure.

Hey guys - two things I immediately want to change on my RR are the front orange side markers (want smoked or black) and antenna (want smaller / stubby antenna for overhead clearance in parking garage). What are the aftermarket options you guys are using for these simple parts?

I don't mind smoking the side markers with spray if no good aftermarket solutions yet...but would prefer to buy if you guys have had luck finding.

Tried searching and didn't see anything, my apologies if I missed a thread...thank you!
Still have the 350?
