Antenna

[Gutterpunk]

I live in a very urban area, and a couple weeks ago some aging post-fraternity d***wad on his way between bars broke my antenna.

My point?

Would you guys recommend getting a good aftermarket antenna (if so, what do you like?), or sticking with the OEM electric one? I never use the electric.

That's exactly why I keep the OEM electric antenna and keep it retracted when I'm not listening to the radio (and when I'm parked).

Go Oem electric- and keep it down. Nothing pisses me off more than some dip**** trying to showoff to his friends how he/she can trash someone else ride.

Get a new mast for a 4 Runner and replace your broken one. Then keep it down if you aren't in the truck. Look into how the antenna from a 95 Camry is wired up, they go down if the radio is off and if the engine is off.

I bought a replacement antenna from SOR and was very pleased with the reception.

Mine was missing when I bought the rig back in 1996. It's still missing.

i run XM and keep the factory one down at all times. Dont have to worry about destroying it on the trails either

I use my ipod 24/7, so mine is down at all times.

Here's a thread on the $8.99 NAPA black antenna that has 3 stages:

I'm getting ready to get one too. You just can't beat that price.

 

[CMD82]

That is what I purchased. I am pleased with it for the price.

Never used one myself but I about about to.My kids broke mine off.

Double, triple ditto on the cheapy NAPA black. This is all I could find pre, but so far I've been very happy with it. (shameless 60 plug)

I have been looking for a new antenna that is a two in one, CB and radio, I know there out there and if anyone has a lead on one I would sure appreciate it..

 

[FZJ80ismybaby]

mine was 11 bucks, i got it from carquest, i can go back and get the packaging if needed

 

[Cruzerman]

I like my cheap Napa unit.

Mine has a black flexible one the PO put on it. It's only about a foot long and picks up great. Plus it'll be more compliant off-road.

There's talk of using a CB antenna and a splitter in this thread...

Some info from the Firestick website...
