Default New offroad antenna

What to get? Which one gives the best reception? Also, does the antenna impact satellite radio or does it use something different?

Your radio antenna and sat antenna are totally separate. Switching to a stubby antenna will most likely affect your ability to pull in some stations, kind of depends on the signal strength of the radio station.

I got the black 9" aluminum antenna,,, it looks great on the Jeep,, but it did affect reception a little. Luckily, I mostly listen to satellite or other source. Sat is not affected by the radio antenna.

I have the AntennaX 13" offroad antenna. I have had no issues with reception being worse. It looks great. I admit, it's a little more flexible than I was expecting, but it's great for offroad. Run it under something and it flexes and bounces right back. Plus the price point around $16 shipped is awesome.

Another vote for Antenna X. Low cost mod that significantly changes the look of the vehicle and no noticeable loss of reception whatsoever.

Calm down sir, it just sounded like a commercial. No need to pull the jersey over my head and start throwing haymakers.
