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.

I got mine off amazon it is very stubby. It picks up local stations but not as good as the OEM antenna.

I have the 13" as well... I do like it although my only complaint is over time (only approx. 6 month) it's started to bend backwards so I have this weird kind of mini-arch whip antenna - wish it was not so flexible (but then again it's good to have the flexibility on the trail) - I'd just prefer it were a bit stiffer...

Did the very same. No reception issues and it was free.
