Reviews for Rugged Ridge Elite Antenna Base with Reflex Antenna for 07-20 Jeep Wrangler JL, JK & Gladiator JT
Looks good. Easy install. Reception suffers with this one as opposed to the OEM antenna.
It has bad reputation, did not work on my 2022 gladiator
The base is nice and fits snuggly to the body of the car. The appearance is very nice and the installation was really easy. The antenna looks great. It’s low-profile and matches the overall appearance of the Jeep perfectly. However, most important aspect of an antenna is where this one fails completely. Since installing this stubby 6” antenna, I’ve lost all HD radio reception and have spotty, fuzzy reception on non-hd channels. I can’t pick up anything at all when it’s overcast and AM radio (which I use for traffic reports every morning) will cut out every 2 or 3 Seconds.
Even if you never listen to the radio, this STILL isn’t worth putting on your car. It’s a $40 antenna base that comes with a disfuntional rubber wand.
