According to chevy engineers they still have the long antenna because they have a large percentage of rural customers. They don't want that part of the market to suffer with radio signal issues because of a short antenna. Just a fun fact.
I would like to add to Mando's comment.... Where I live there are many underground parking areas, the factory antenna works as a quick guide to know if the truck is too high for the parking garage.
Ive had a zillion antennas on my cars over the years, never bothered me. At least it’s black! Actually, I think the tiny antenna looks more obvious. The short stubby effect sticking up making people wonder where the rest of your antenna went.
For the tint you can use the soapy water method. Works way easier. You can move it around while still on the headlight. Just move it around. Line it up. Squeegee out the water and use heat gun if need too.
Purchased the same exact antenna for my 2020 back in January. Have had no issues so far, and looks 100 times better than the stock antenna. Excited to see what else you do!
Just tinted mine and did 30% ceramic tint on the windshield and you can see out great and can't see in. Blocks much more uv then regular tint! But def find a new tint shop paid 300 for the whole truck with ceramic. But great video!
Just gone mine last week. I got the same antenna like yours. Need to get my windows tint and so the sides like yours. I got the sand color one. looks amazing... I'm pissed because I took it one night parket the truck away from other cars . came out and seen a tone of trucks around my truck but when I got home i notice a door ding... PISSED ME OFF... now I have to figure out how to fix it. Some people just don't care!!!!!!
One thing on the antenna. The antenna height is to let you know when you're about to rip the roof off the truck in the super low parking garage you just drove in to..: )
Never did like that "fishing pole" antenna on my 2019 LTZ. Hell Chevy used to hide the antenna in the windshield decades ago. Wonder why they didn't keep that up? Anyway, I popped on that shortie antenna, because I never really listen to radio anyway, I listen to SiriusXM. Going to have my front driver and passenger windows tinted too.
Just get some better looking wheels and tires with an offset or get wider wheels and tires. Stock wheels don't look too great to me. And I'm a Chevy nut
God bless man. If I saw one more pickup with that stupid bullet antenna, I was gonna flip out. I have the same one as you, just a nub, but those bullets get on my nerves soo much
I got this same antenna. My HD channels sometimes cut out but I don’t listen to the radio much. I play most of my music through my phone. This antenna does look great though vs the factory antenna. A nice cheap addition!
Good video but anytime you do a vinyl overlay over anything that has a border, you install it from inner border to inner border. That why you see orang from the front. You laid it wrong. Look at the gap in front showing orange you will notice the back part has the same length over border. Inside border to inside border.
The difference in that short Ant. will show up on a trip away from the place you live when you start losing your radio stations at a shorter distance out of town than the longer high DB rated factory Ant. I realize most people don't have a garage to park there truck in but I do and i have a golf ball hanging from the ceiling that I line up with Ant. so I'm parked in the exact same place so I can shut the garage door and still be able to open my fridge or freezer I have in the garage.
Hey man I have the same truck almost and I seen this video awhile back. Hope someone on here can help me. Instead of blacking lights out I'm actually changing everything that dodnt come with the LEDs and I have everything. Turn signals (I'd definitely do that to yours. Makes them super crisp) license plate and reverse and the ONLY bulbs I cant seem to get to are those little marker lights! Do you have any idea how to get them out!? It makes me think they're already LEDs but they definitely dont look like it. Any help super appreciated!
So, what happens when you get in an accident with altered, non DOT, turn signals? Here you will get a minor traffic violation, but you would be on the hook for everything civil.
Just purchased that antenna for my 24 Silverado. The dang factory antenna hits the top of my garage, too dang tall. Truck barely fits in my garage as it is.
Most people aren’t aware, but dodge doesn’t make Rams. Dodge stopped making rams around 2008 or 2009. Chrysler / Fiat were the recent owners until about two months ago. Now the Ram truck is owned by Stellantis.
Wow, Where the do you live? Beautiful scenery! Love all your mods! How about throttle control for your next mod? I’m on the fence for either pedal monster or pedal commander. Your thoughts?
I also agree the trailers is on of the best looking trucks from the factory. I have a 2022 RST with the z71 package and looks great but not as good as the TB. Nice vid
theres no r factor protection on those back windows so your gonna wanna get the back windows tinted at some point it will keep your truck cooler inside just my psa for ya
Hey Chase I have the same truck 6.2 ten speed LT Traio Buddy 2021 - are you running 41 lbs all around. On the street. Feels a little hard to me, feels better with a few lbs less. Amy insight?.
Hey Chase I have the same truck 6.2 ten speed LT Trail Boss 2021 - are you running 41 lbs all around. On the street. Feels a little hard to me, feels better with a few lbs less. Any insight?.
I have drive mine from San Diego, OR, WA, AZ and again to OR in 3 weeks for elk season - I just passed 35k, I’ve had it for a little over a year… love it. I’m installing some air bags for a 26 foot toy hauler and an additional fuel cell… couldn’t be happier with it.
looks good! I just can't get over the goofy looking mirrors. Have you noticed better visibility on the sides with that style. In rare occasions my 2018 side mirrors block some of my view.

@@todds2254 Yup. I’m still gonna change mine. It drags across my parking garage top as I drive through the levels… but I will miss the warming.

Nice truck. What size are your tires and rims? Did u get a level kit or lift? If so, how high please ?

I think a color matched bumper and leaving the grill black would look pretty sick for now!
Agreed
Ooooh that would look good!

I love the way Baby Boss is looking so far. CANT WAIT FOR WHEELS AND TIRES
Boss Baby 🍼
The little things add up to a nice truck that catches your eye but you can't quite figure out why
One thing on the antenna. The antenna height is to let you know when you're about to rip the roof off the truck in the super low parking garage you just drove in to..: )
The shorty is great i dont really listen to the radio i use my phone and just listen to music off of it. Makes the truck look alot better
Are the side steps OEM? Why can’t GMC follow Chevys lead on some simple stuff like that?
Thanks for the quick tips!
Totally bought the corner headlight tent stuff. That look slick. Gonna plastic dip those z71 badges black soon too.
Man I love the way the grill looks on the custom trims

Where did you get those pre-cut tint corners for the headlights at? Can you please link it? I have 2020 trailboss
Wet install method on the tint would have been far superior
Can you please tell me the size of the Wheels and tires you have please thank you
Need to get the domed black letters for the tailgate. I’ve got the same truck, get ready to deal with the back glass leaking, super common.
…the tall antenna doubles as a clearance check for the roofline…if you flex the antenna, you will likely scrape the roof in a parking garage..
5% all around and 35% on the windshield. Privacy and it's much cooler in there with ceramic tint
What type of side step do you have on that beast
just got a trail boss and did same things! Trail boss stock is already awesome looking so it don't take much!
Get you some 1.5 inch hub centric wheel spacers for the stock wheels. What a difference. Did my 19 Boss Custom and it has the right stance...
Just get some better looking wheels and tires with an offset or get wider wheels and tires. Stock wheels don't look too great to me. And I'm a Chevy nut
was gonna do that to mine. will 2" work?
God bless man. If I saw one more pickup with that stupid bullet antenna, I was gonna flip out. I have the same one as you, just a nub, but those bullets get on my nerves soo much

“I don’t like the fishing pole but hope it gets good reception like the fishing pole...”
Oooooootay 👌🏻
What side steps are these? I’ve been looking for these exact ones
Loose the Crome wheel lug nuts and replace them with gloss black ones, it will look sleeker and make the black wheels appear to float.
Good video but anytime you do a vinyl overlay over anything that has a border, you install it from inner border to inner border. That why you see orang from the front. You laid it wrong. Look at the gap in front showing orange you will notice the back part has the same length over border. Inside border to inside border.
If you put a leveling and the black wheel setup off baby squat and a camper shell would look clean
I put a stubby antenna on my trailboss and got better reception lol

I legit installed the same antenna 2 days ago haha love the truck so far man!
What brand is it? I want to order one just don’t know what brand though
@@hbadalyan I believe it’s “AntennaMastsRus” 6 3/4in antenna $25 on Amazon works fine!
just bought 2021 GMC 1500 AT4 carbon, and lovin it
What exhaust are you running? It sounds good!
What brand is that antenna? I’m glad to see yours worked out for you.
What % tint for the front windows?
I just got a trail boss on Thursday and the first thing I got for it and installed today was that same antenna!
$140 for the tint? Thats insane. I paid $150 for the front two limo and the back 3 double limo... crazy man.. love the truck so far tho
Truck looks great and you live in a beautiful area ..
The sides reflectors may look good tinted but they serve a purpose at night
How dark did u go for the tint?
I was wondering the same thing.

Nice truck are those GM side steps
I put a small dab of blue locktite on my stubby antenna just in case someone wants to steel it from the truck. It won't be easy to remove it.
What kind of exhaust mod you got ? Truck sounds great
what kind of side steps do you have?
Just purchased that antenna for my 24 Silverado. The dang factory antenna hits the top of my garage, too dang tall. Truck barely fits in my garage as it is.
Couple drops of Dove soap in a spray bottle. Plastic spreader. Finger prints will show up on the back.
What running boards do you have!?
the link to the tint does not work....can you fix or supply the brand? Love the truck!
That start up sounds sweeeeeet
What steps are u running? I cant find ones that say silverado on them
I'm a Dodge fan, but that new Chevy body style does look good.
Most people aren’t aware, but dodge doesn’t make Rams. Dodge stopped making rams around 2008 or 2009. Chrysler / Fiat were the recent owners until about two months ago. Now the Ram truck is owned by Stellantis.
Windex or soapy water will allow you to stick tint or stickers on and move them into position.
Wow, Where the do you live?
Beautiful scenery!
Love all your mods!
How about throttle control for your next mod?
I’m on the fence for either pedal monster or pedal commander.
Your thoughts?
What’s that do?
Looks bad ass thanks for the info brotha ima try the tint on the headlights
I also agree the trailers is on of the best looking trucks from the factory. I have a 2022 RST with the z71 package and looks great but not as good as the TB. Nice vid
How much you get it for? I’m getting one today with an msrp of 63575. Out the door I got it down to 61400 after taxes & fees
@@josegoesoutside I was 10k less then that out the door.
Give me link to order the signal tints, i wanna get them too lol
First mod put some water before the polarized paper and that way you could be moving without having to taking it out
Black out the z71 and Silverado LT , bow tie too I did. Mine looks sick
I put the amber tint on with the wet method...way easier.
What kind of running boards do you have? I kinda like how close they sit to the truck
I can't wait to see a 6" rough country on that 😂
Ain’t no way he goes rough country
Hey, have you been happy with your side steps? I’m looking to get them for my new truck.
Loving the truck so far
Dude, use a soap and water mixture in a spray bottle, then apply stickers, tint, etc. Rookie.
Hello!! the running boards looks awesome boards where you buy it?
I think those are stock GM
What running boards are on this truck?
theres no r factor protection on those back windows so your gonna wanna get the back windows tinted at some point it will keep your truck cooler inside just my psa for ya
Looking good! 😎👍
Next thing, tint the signals on the mirrors. Those are a huge eyesore IMO. 🤷
When are the red wheels coming? 🤩
They are led lights not turn signals
@@lmfscrew Oh. Do they broadcast light when you turn on the signal, like a luxury car?
@@Carl_Jr nah they are like flood lights, can turn both on or individually
Can you repost the corner tunt? Link in the description doesn't work.
How did u got the bumper and the grill all blacked out?
white bow tie, steps off, sunroof visor & taillights smoked !
Just got a black out the badges and the tow hooks in front and you're all set
Hey Chase I have the same truck 6.2 ten speed LT Traio Buddy 2021 - are you running 41 lbs all around. On the street. Feels a little hard to me, feels better with a few lbs less. Amy insight?.
should wrap the black plastic between the side windows with a gloss black
I have the same stubby antenna works well!!
I'm gettin new headlights, tint em, and I've already got an arrow for my antenna, and it gets gooood signal
You should get the light bars that go in the grille they would look dope
Get black/tinted tail lights and rear 3rd brake light
yeah thats a great idea if your 13 years old and want to get in a accident when the weather get bad.
Where did you get the overlays for headlights ? That link doesn’t work
Hey Chase I have the same truck 6.2 ten speed LT Trail Boss 2021 - are you running 41 lbs all around. On the street. Feels a little hard to me, feels better with a few lbs less. Any insight?.
You'll need to test the reception with AM/FM because that's the only thing it's for, not Satellite
Sweet truck. I have a Trail Boss LT but in gray and I love it. Wish I had the sun roof though.
I have drive mine from San Diego, OR, WA, AZ and again to OR in 3 weeks for elk season - I just passed 35k, I’ve had it for a little over a year… love it. I’m installing some air bags for a 26 foot toy hauler and an additional fuel cell… couldn’t be happier with it.
@@theshittybowman Awesome!! Glad you like it as much as I like mine.
any chance you have a updated link to the corner tint?
looks good! I just can't get over the goofy looking mirrors. Have you noticed better visibility on the sides with that style. In rare occasions my 2018 side mirrors block some of my view.
There's almost no blind spot with these I thought about getting the factory tow mirrors for mine till I drove it and it's almost perfect
Gotta blackout the rest of front end now, tow hooks and z71 logo
What are the running boards? Brand name?
Hi I know this video is old but can you tell me what the part number is on your running boards this video?
What about upgrades to a 2013 Chevy Silverado 1500
Looks good I would paint z on the z71 emblem black thats what I did and it looks a lot better
Hello I got a 2020 trail boss I love those side steps what are those so I can order them do you have the brand and number to order please
I got that antenna also but the reception is terrible
Got screwed with my tint not so quality work lol doing it myself next time
Did you do the exhaust too?
thats a beautiful truck.
I’m surprised you didn’t debadge the truck
What brand running boards are they ?
