    I get shitty radio reception in San Diego with a stock antenna.

    Anybody know if there's an antenna out there that increases reception?

    I am getting an HD Radio installed tomorrow, so maybe it will sound better.

    I got if from this guy....

    http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/2n...stah-custom-firestik-ii-05-11-headlights.html

    who may or maynot have gotten it from here...

    http://www.tundratalk.net/forums/tundra-parts-accessories/106042-custom-firestick-ll-antenna.html

    yes there is an adaptor.
    and it does make wind noise at times... but I think it looks cool
    Will probably take it off when I go off roading to keep it from snapping the adapter.

    Ok. After I got the new HD Radio put in the reception has been wonderful for the stations I listen to that have a digital signal. I won't change it, although those shorties look cooler.

    Don't have an antenna- there wasn't one on the truck when I bought it. :D
    I'll buy one eventually, but right now, all my money is going into the motor. I'll save piddly crap like that for when the real money spending is over.
