Reviews for Rugged Ridge Stubby Reflex Antenna for 97-22 Jeep Wrangler TJ, JK, JL & Gladiator JT
Easy to install
Love it vs the one that comes with the Jeeps!
Snap to install and looks so much better than stock
Product as advertised.
Looks good, works good
Arrived quickly in good condition. Installed in less than a minute. Looks much better than the factory antenna. I didn't notice any decrease in radio reception when I tested it, but I only tested it for a few minutes, as I never listen to the radio, so I can't really speak to that aspect. This was purely a cosmetic upgrade for me, and I'm happy with it.
No problems installing. They are stiff, If you go with a tall one you may want to get another type to avoid breakage on the trail. I can't speak for the reception quality as I don't listen to the standard radio anyway. I just needed something to fill the hole and not get broken.
This antenna works great and has a nice, low profile. However, unlike the photo, the antenna does not come with a female attachment point. There is a male part (that can be removed), but this is good, because when you remove your stock antenna, it leaves a female attachment point on the Jeep. The problem is the male part on the new antenna is too long. I got around this by adding a 1/4in segment of black rubber tubing as a spacer. Works great. I recommend the product, just be advised it may take slight modification.
Had to buy another part so the threading wasn't exposed but looks and works good.
Nice product
