I made the decision to swap out to a stubby antenna on my Jeep recently.
With that in mind, I ordered the Tactik Stubby Reflex Antenna, in the 6" variety (This comes in several different lengths). This is one of the few antennas I found specifically advertised to fit the YJs (As well as TJ, JK, JL, JT). ![]() It fits everything as it comes with adapters. I will say the adapters are actually quite nice. It's not mentioned anywhere in the advertisement, or listing, but the adapters I received are stainless steel. I've seen some mixed things on antenna threads, here is what I've run into:
![]() The antenna was advertised as 6", and it is pretty much exactly 6". ![]() The install is pretty much exactly what you would expect. Unscrew the old antenna, screw on the new antenna. ![]() So I'm sure the question everyone wants to know is how well does it actually work? Much better than I expected. It still picks up all the local stations. I have one station that has a bit of static (that didn't before), but I can still definitely listen to it. However, my favorite station is from a large city about 90 minutes away, that I could usually pick up with the stock antenna. Nothing with this. So you do lose some range, but it wasn't as drastic as I expected, the local stations all were fine. Your mileage may vary though if you are further away from your local stations. If you're in need of a stubby antenna I don't see any issues with this one. I'd recommend it.
