Shorty antenna

Thanks for this thread. Just ordered the 14" from AntennaXperts... I dont like the euro look, except on euro cars..

 

I got a shorty from advance, its just rubber and I can see it bending in the wind when I drive. there was a slight drop in reception, but only when I am reaching for a station out of Greensboro or something... def worth it not to bang it on the garage door or tree limbs when wheeling...

 

FYI, this thing is JUNK! I bought one, I couldn't even pick up static with it. Save your money for a different one.

 

i ordered the 13" euro one couple days ago, might order the metal one aswell just for the hell of it

 

I went with the billet version...

 

that looks good, im wondering if i should have gone with that one instead of the euro. is your reception still decent?

 

Stupid car wash snapped the adapter on my 8" billet antenna, I would recommend something with a flexibility.

 

exactly why to stay away from those kind of car washes

 

yeah, reception is the same.

 

Yes exactly.

 

I just bought a 14" jobber from AutoZone ($12)... it looks pretty similar to stock (Black with a wire wrapped around the antenna mast)... and everything seems to tune in just as well as it did with the stock antenna.

 

Agreed!!! I have the same one and reception sucks!!! The paint faded and isnt black and almost looks like copper now!!

 

I just used my Dremel tool and cut off about three inches from the stock antenna. I pulled the metal ball off of the top of the antenna and put it back onto the shortened antenna. I didn't need any epoxy. Put some fresh paint on it and it was as good as new. And it was basically free.

 

Antenna X.!!! Euro version, flexible and great reception in so calif

 

Antenna X Euro version. just ordered last week to Canada too.

 

I could told you that.........

 

Damn I just bought one of these 2 days ago to replace my AntennX because it snapped in half when it was 5deg out and I hit it with my snow broom.

 

Actually I tested mine out this weekend while I was working on my iPod, didnt sound that bad to me. I could pick up all the channels and had good clarity with very little static. maybe it depends on where you are in relation to the stations. Anchorage has probably got all of our stations antennas transmitting no more than 20 miles at any given point. Which I assume is fairly close.

 

I tossed my stock one in the toolbox, since I prettymuch use my iphone ipod all the time anyway.

that short one does look cool tho, too bad its not functional. I should get one to go with my hood scoop.

 

we sell alot of our antennas to Tacoma owners, thanks everyone for the positive reviews!!
