Just placed my order. I'll probably have this before I get my Jeep back. :(

 

Looks really good!

 

For those who care: That little ball on top of the antenna does serve a purpose. The antenna moving through air builds up a static charge. When the charge is high enough, it ionizes surrounding air and discharges producing a pop in reception. The little ball raises the voltage level required to ionize surrounding air and prevents the discharge and pop. Ever wonder why a Windhurst Static Machine has that big globe on top? That is so it can build up charges of 10's of thousands of volts before ionizing the air and discharging.

 

Reception hasn't changed, much!

 

I had to take that bottom plastic piece off mine in order for it to fit. Other than that, it looks great!

 

So, i am driving a mini lightning generator? Cool.


(No, really, it is, interesting tidbit, didnt know that)

 

What brand is your shorty antenna?? I prefer the skinny look of yours versus the fat rubber look.

Thanks !! !

Just got my Antenna from Shorty Antenna Source (that was quick!)... I would highly recommend them if you are looking for one . When I received mine they forgot to include the special adapter for the 07 wrangler. I emailed them back and was surprised to get a response back within an hour from sending. They apologized for the mix-up and sent the adapter right out.

 

i been looking for a short antenna fir the longest time, thanks to you guys i ordered it from this site Shorty Antenna Source. I ordered it yesterday cant cait to get it.

 

How's the reception w/ the 8" shorty?


edit: that sounds funny. Most peoplle wouldn't call 8 inches a "shorty"
