I cut mine and painted it. Looks good and still works. Even about 70 miles from Denver I get channels clearly.

See. I've been all over and no compromise in reception.

Being near a major city helps.

Default Off Road antenna X

I just put one of these on, 13" off road from AntennaX, I mainly listen to AM radio and it didn't impact reception at all, even one of my local sports stations comes in better. Looks better than stock, nice and short.

I have the same 13" antenna. Had one on my last 4 jk. They are great, reception always seemed the same for me.

+1 AntennaX 13" offroad antenna.

Installed mine yesterday. Live about 60 miles from main FM Stations, and no signal loss.

Looks much better. IMHO

I'll go against this. Stations that are strong in your area won't get affected, but you'll notice a way earlier dropoff as you leave town/scan to less strong stations than when you had the stocker. I don't listen to radio much and I broke my old one so its fine for what it is. But to say there is no noticable loss is nonsense.
