Pricy but still nice. Only thing I just realized was it will not work with center high mount camera. Have to pull my light and see what the housing looks like to see if I may be able to modify the mount.......

I saw that one, but it is too tall to allow me to fint in the garage, I have about 1.5" from the roof of the truck to cleat the opening. The camera mount one actually sits just below the roof line and would be perfect even with the cap on when antenna is not.

I called and talked to them and they told me the same about trimming the light, sounds like at the very top. I am very interested to see your thoughts on the install and performance.
I did pull the trigger on the Stryker 94, man is that a tiny little radio, now to decide if I want to trim out the back of the sliding door console for it to fit in there and still close. Not sure if there are any wire harnesses that pass under it. MY other option is to mount it on the panel below steering wheel on the right side, there is plenty of room and it doesn't look to get in the way while I'm driving.

Griffin Specialty Industries - Home is making these. I dont think he has finalized his pricing, but its expected to be sub $100.

Good lookin design, and price. But the height is out for me, I park my truck in my garage and there is not enough room to get it in there with that. I basically have about 1-1.5" from the roof to the opening (freaks the wife out when I back in),

About the only thing you will be able to use is a bumper mount. As far as antenna effectiveness, higher is always better, taller is always better, and generally obstructions around the antenna (like the body of the truck with a bumper mount) will seriously impede effectiveness. There are also some foldover/lay-over antenna mounts out there, one company even has one that's powered. But I think all of those would still be taller than 1.5".

The lowest one I've been able to find is the one that Sarge posted. with the antenna unscrewed from it I can clear the garage opening from the pics I have seen installed on f150's. I am hoping Sarge will post up some good pics from his install and I can verify it on a Superduty. I am not opposed to taking the antenna off when not using it, It would normally only be on when traveling anyway.
