Shorten the antenna?
After installing the RB 2" lift and the larger Revo tires, I found that my antenna strikes the frame of my garage door.
Aside from remembering to turn off the radio every time I enter the garage, is there a way to shorten this thing by about 3"?
I know I'm going to forget to turn the radio off a few times and that power antenna is going to snap. Then I'll snap.

Before you move down into the body somebody must do an analysis of the fender material and its attenuation @ 98,100,000hz, precisely, and factor that in! You want to do things right don't you?
