So my jeep already has a 4 in. lift and i need to park it in the garage sometimes. Is there a way i can take off the antenna easily and put it back on when i need to park in the garage? Some kind of part maybe?

you can get a stubby trail antenna, it will be shorter then the windshield, but it wont pick up radio as good. if you dont use the fm/am at all you can just take the antenna off and close the hole for free or a cheap cap as well. if you dont have any issues getting radio stations now the stubby should work fine and they dont cost much. and if you need the long boy, just take it on and off as you need to garage, its not too hard, just takes a couple minutes

I cut mine down to 12 inch. Super glue the little ball back on top. Spray paint black.

No problems and same reception

Antenna x!!! Less than $20. Great reception.tried the cheaper option of cutting my factory one but reception was crappy.

I guess you are talking about a tall CB antenna, correct?

There are a couple options.

1) get a quick-disconnector. You can remove the whole antenna with a simple twist.

2) if your antenna is mounted to a coil spring and on one of the Jeep's sides, just bend it under the third brake light.


I found the second by accident on a trail. My 4 ft CB antenna was bouncing everywhere and a couple times got stuck under the third brake light. Now I even removed the quick-disconnector and when parking in a low ceiling garage I just bend and hook it there.

If it is the radio antenna, the cheaper alternative is just to cut it...I cut mine to 17", reinstalled (soldered) the ball end to the tip, and then painted black. Looks like it came from the factory, no reception issues, and perfect height.
