Reviews for Rugged Ridge Stubby Reflex Antenna for 97-22 Jeep Wrangler TJ, JK, JL & Gladiator JT

Fits and installs easy, signal is TERRIBLE ... lost 30% of reception ... went back to original factory, all stations come in clearly again. DON'T BUY!!!

I'm sure it will look great but it needs a different stud to screw the antenna into the holder. Apparently, Quadratec doesn't sell the stud(?) Why sell an antenna a customer cannot attach without buying another product somewhere else? At least inform the customer. Maddening.

Does not fit 2002 Jeep Tj

This short antenna looks nice , but, it DOES NOT pull in the signal like the OEM antenna as advertised!

Don't buy the 9" unless you in an area with stations nearby FM that I normally listen to is only 20 miles away and I can barely pick it up with this antenna.

Looks great but reception is down to nothing. I expected those results but figured I’d take a chance.

I live in the near north suburbs of Chicago. Installed the stubby and literally have trouble getting reception on all but a few stations in the area. As i drive to the hunting property its like trying to watch UHF TV back in the 70's. Could not be more disappointed. This item will be going back.

If your purchasing for looks then your good. However performance for picking up radio signals very poor at best. I lost roughly every channel except one. Also you will need to get new mounting plate. It wont fit OEM side plate.

Looks great, encased and rubber with plastic base so no paint to chip off unlike the other option in the catalogue. Comes with male adaptors for mounting. Reception is horrible on the 6 inch. I mean really bad. I live in a metro area and there are a couple stations that when scanning for them are not even picked up. Going to see if they will switch it out for the 9 inch. Any bigger and I may as well go back to the stock antenna. Very disappointed.

Adaptor screw was not long enough to attach antenna securely for my application - used thread lock on the 2 threads that made contact. We shall see how long it lasts. Otherwise reception seems good..
