What antenna do you have on your Tacoma?

yes, we run our jeep thru the wash with the flexible antenna

 

AntennaX, I ordered mine from you off of eBay. I figured for the price I'll give it a try.

The 15" works better than the shorter ones I have tried in the past and was surprised at the signal once installed. The OEM antenna hardly pulled in any channels and I was even thinking of changing the radio.

I installed this and I couldn't believe all the channels I started pulling in.

 

Cool

 

I have the cravenspeed stubby too and the reception is horrible no matter where I am. Some stations dont even come across at all, its just silence. I might send it back.

 

I only listen to my iPod, after selling my Avalanche and G37s where I only listened to XM. I would get a shortie (non-bendable one for purely cosmetic reasons)

 

But you have shorter ones in your signature........

 

I just ordered this along with the locking gas cap.

 

They're for people like me who don't use the radio and want a cheap, low-profile antenna. I got the 5"

 

What is the difference in reception between 14" billet and 13" euro style?

Thanks

 

Got the AntennaX Eurostyle 13" last week... Sending it back, reception sux! I'd rather have functionality over looks so sticking with stock.

 

I always go buy a replacement mast at Autozone and chop it an inch or two shorter than the roofline depending on the slope.

 

Its not the size of your antenna, its how you use it!

 

I take it you got one of those one inch antennaes I've been seeing on cars lately?

 

Honda s2000 modded to fit

 

Where's the "Don't have an antenna" option?
The dude that had the truck before me broke it off or something. Think I'll have to drill it out to slap a new one on. Just haven't done it yet. Not really in a rush. I got a couple CDs.

 

i got on off ebay and its on the way. they say its 3 inch one.

why take the antenna off or shorten it? i love the sound of it whipping back after passing some low branches

 

cravenspeed

 

I went and bought a replacement antennae (universal).
Removed the ball by hitting downward on the channel locks with a hammer.

Then I cut it where I wanted it. Ground the end of it to a point.

Then I used a dab of JB Weld to attach the ball to the mast.

I need to take a couple more inches off, but this is what I got.

Took two more inches off.

 

yes, we do now as we have noticed that people still want/buy the short ones even though reception is not that great.
