Review on πŸ“‘ Rugged Ridge 17212.11 Antenna: Enhanced Reflex, 15 inch, Fits 97-Current Jeep Wrangler & 2020 Gladiator by Aaron Kindler

Revainrating 1 out of 5

The antenna repeatedly bangs against the window jamb at highway speed.

I usually install 13" antennas on my Jeep TJ Wrangler. I went with the 15" hoping for better reception. The reception was about the same +-, but as I happened to be driving at high speed on the freeway, I heard a loud rattle coming from the front of the jeep. I stopped immediately to find out why but didn't find anything out of the ordinary.I drove a little further until the noise returned.On closer inspection I found the antenna was relentlessly banging against the window jamb.Unfortunately I didn't have a return window so I've looked to the manufacturer to no avail I would not recommend a 15" Rugged Ridge antenna for a Jeep TJ. I never had a problem with the 13" antenna and ordered one afterwards.

Pros
  • Delivery was very fast
Cons
  • Some difficulties
