Review on πŸš™ Ronin Factory - Short Antenna for Jeep Wrangler & Gladiator - Anti-Theft Design, No Adapters Needed by Greg Simms

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great looking antenna but beware of the loss of signal quality.

First of all, it's tiny! The build quality seems to be very good. The fixative on the one they sent me was yellow compared to the red Loctite pictured, I don't know what it is or how strong it will be. I installed it on my JKU 2018 and it was pretty easy. The fit was great. The reason I deducted a star was due to significant signal loss, particularly on the FM band, despite the packaging saying that a loss in signal quality was to be expected. The reason vehicles have an antenna is so they can receive radio signals more efficiently, this antenna seems to negate that. Basically it's aesthetics. Since I've had the opportunity to use satellite radio and music streaming, the loss of signal quality hasn't been too unpleasant for me, but rather annoying.

Pros
  • Ideal for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Crumpled packaging
