Antenna (questions)

[TrailJoy]

So that stock antenna has GOT. TO. GO. I'm looking to buy a shorter black stubby, but is there anything I need to know? Is it just AM/FM? Does anything else run through it? I imagine it's just a simple radio antenna, but before I spend the money...

Also, it looks like they cost about $40 CAD on Amazon (is this a standard price?), but there are a few different styles. Whats your favourite? Also, am I wrong to assume that it's as easy as unscrewing the old one and screwing the new one back on?

Before you trash the stock antenna it is designed to work as a height gauge when passing under low tree branches or going into a parking garage. If the antenna touches you may be at risk of hitting and damaging your your top.

(Don’t ask me how I know. LOL )

I have the antenna x it’s the 13” one I believe. Was $25 CAD on Amazon this past summer. Reception is as good as was with stock one

hope that helps

It does help, but the only antennax I can find is $45 and says only for JK. Was it on sale?

I did a video on the antenna. I really like the upgrade myself, but from what I have heard, it will lower your reception if you live out in the country. If you live in the city it should be fine.



Its only $20 US and looks much better.

I just installed this one the other day. Looks great and reception is good. I mainly use SiriusXM, so this is mainly for looks.

I installed a 7” Rydonair antenna and it works great. The short antenna makes it a lot easier to clean the windshield.
