This is my first Jeep. Used it a lot this past weekend. Decided to give attention to the stock antenna that so many people mercilessly trash talk and the following are my thoughts:
1. The stock antenna is awesome.
2. I've never had a cooler whip style antenna on a vehicle before.
3. Seeing cheap aftermarket antennas makes me cringe hard for those that do that.
4. If it's catching brush, take out the 10mm spanner, turn counter clockwise and stash it.
5. If it has surface corrosion and looks beat like mine did, scrub it to a patina shine and enjoy.
6. Those that endure the quality of Satellite or Streamed music to the exclusion of traditional and HD terrestrial RF are missing out.
7. Degrading your reception through the use of no antenna or a novelty antenna decreases the chances of discovering and connecting to what's on the airwaves while exploring.
I've said my piece.
