It fits well, but something terrible is flapping in the wind

Terrible. It fits well but something horribly flaps in the wind. It's terrible! The question is, is it really Rugged Ridge, they usually make good products. looking for another 21" antenna from another company. I probably should have bought it directly from Rugged Ridge as I was about to.

Pros
  • Lots of positive emotions
Cons
  • Some problems

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Easy to install, looks good, flexible.

Received the antenna today, the only thing that worries me is that my radio reception is a bit weak, but I also installed some lamps on the A-pillar next to it, I think that may be the cause of some of interference. I like the look of the antenna, it matches my black jeep. Too bad they didn't make it into a 32" antenna.

Pros
  • Ideal for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Working speed

21 inch antenna rod

Looks great. Hearty and meaty. The reception is no better or worse than the original stock. For the record, my stock antenna was terrible where I live, and this replacement didn't make it any bigger or smaller. I read some reviews that mentioned it buckling over time. That's something I'm concerned about as I'm on the track a lot.

Pros
  • Easy installation
Cons
  • Lots of stuff

Looks good, so far so good

I was looking for an antenna that was a bit larger than the one in my Jeep, and this one fitted. I think it looks good, the reception is about the same (hard to tell) and it seems to be holding up pretty well. I don't drive highways often, so I'm hoping I don't have the same issues that other people have had with its wear/flexing.

Pros
  • Hands-free calling
Cons
  • I don't like it, everything is fine

Best Antenna for Wrangler

I originally bought a 13 inch antenna for my jeep. Needless to say the reception wasn't very good and I lost most of the channels out of town. Replaced it with this one and I got a lot more channels over a longer distance. Definitely recommend if you're looking for a standard antenna upgrade. It's also very flexible and has a solid construction so you don't have to worry about it snagging on anything. A must for every Jeep owner.

Pros
  • Excellent Overall Performance
Cons
  • Frequency

21 " Rugged Ridge Antenna

I wanted a shorter antenna for my JK Wrangler but still wanted some stations so I went with the longer 21" Rugged Ridge antenna. After installing the antenna I was only able to receive 2 or 3 channels, while before I could receive 15 or 20. It looks good and is easy to install, but I like listening to my radio. I reinstall the original antenna. Not recommended if you enjoy listening to the radio. I suspect that shorter antennas will be worse.

Pros
  • Quality construction
Cons
  • Miscellaneous Miscellaneous
