Stubbie Antenna

Has anyone or does anyone have this type of antenna? I am considering buying it and I just want to know how well it works.
heres the link to the antennas:

i know scott (SLOH) got a shorty antenna for like 14$ on ebay... it works great!

 

I got one from Autozone for under $10, works like a charm. No difference from the stock antenna.

 

If you do end up getting one off 4wheelparts could i check it out? Im in Cerritos as well.

 

I have that exact antenna on my truck. I don't remember if it is the 9" or 12". I live in Topeka but I like to listen to some FM radio stations in Kansas City which is about 75 miles away. My stock antenna could pick them up with no problem. This stubby antenna will not bring them in. I would say the range is about 10 miles less with this antenna because as soon as I get just a ways out of town it starts to pickup the KC stations.

Also keep in mind that this antenna has NO give whatsoever. I always remove it when I go through an automated car wash. It only takes a few seconds to do so.

 

Don't waste your money. I had one of those & the antenna is press fit into the base & after a couple trips on the interstate this is what you'll have.

 

My 8" from http://www.shortyantennasource.com works grade A. Not a single complaint about performance. Only $20something with shipping.

 

It fits after some slight modification.
