Notices
JK Show & Tell Whether they're just poser shots in your driveway or hardcore action shots on the trail, if you've got photos or videos of your Jeep JK Wrangler (or any JK for that matter that you think is worth showing off, inside or out), we want to see them so please post them here! Likewise, if you are wanting to see a photo of something specific like an aftermarket JK part or poser shot with a specific setup, this is the place to ask for it.

Most important mod ever!

I bought one off ebay from a seller called antennax, it works fine and has a thicker rubber cover on it. The stock antenna got whipped and cracked my windshield,doh.

I got mine off ebay for about $18 shipped, however my reception was terrible after I installed it. I got the 8" but probably should have gone with the 14". I wanted to prevent the antenna from bouncing off my windshield lights, but I preferred having radio reception instead. Now I'm looking at the CB Style from Quadratec. only problem...$68.00 http://www.quadratec.com/products/96080_5011.htm

Made my own... heat-shrink tubing and a screw protecter, that's all. I gained 4 horsepower and get 30mpg now.
