Antennas

[TacoXpo]

Thinking about putting an antenna back on the truck but I'm thinking a stubby or some super flexy one. Any experiences?

I know a local guy who was running a stubby till it touched a tree branch and broke off his mount so depending on your trails I would stick with flexible, but that's IMO for my region.

I have a stubby because the stocker would hit the garage door when I pull in or out. It solved the garage door problem, but as far as reception goes it sucks.

The antenna Rob has is a stubby billet aluminium one. Reception was pretty crappy even in the city, but I don't really listen to the radio very much anyway.

[yotarob]

Thats the one, but 99% of the time I just listen to my Ipod.

Yeah - just want to make sure I have AM for when Occupy Wall Street and Obama shoots the satellites out of the sky! But first I have to easy out the end that's sitting in the fender!

I have a shorter than stock antenna and it has been pretty good for reception and looks IMO. I'll post a pic when I get home.

You can just take your OEM antenna, take the plastic cap off of the top, and trim it to the length you want and put.the cap back on. Your reception will be worse obviously. I remember reading about that a long time ago on tardworld.

AM reception was always pretty decent. Used it to listen to Spurs games and the occasional Rush Limbaugh,
