Review & Install Video

I'm Ryan from ExtremeTerrain.com and this is my review of the RedRock 4x4 Trail 13 inch Short Antenna fitting all 1997 to 2016 TJs. This part is a little bit form and a little bit function. A lot of people like the way that these 13-inch antennas over the much taller factory metal antenna. And this is designed to bend and spring back straight again if you get it hooked on a tree branch on the trail. Where the factory metal antenna will bend and stay bent until you manually bend it straight again. Now with any shorty antenna, you are going to lose a little bit of radio reception. So if you already have weak reception and you listen to the radio a lot, this might not be the best model for you. This antenna is priced right around the same area as a lot of other shorty antennas and in my mind, I can't see a reason to spend more on one of those more expensive options. This is designed to replace your factory antenna, which is a full 31 inches tall, with this much more compact 13-inch tall antenna. This is covered with a rubber weatherproof coating and, as we said before, it's designed to bend and snap back straight again unlike some other shorty antennas that are on the market. One thing that will save you a little bit of money with this shorty antenna is that it includes just the antenna that screws directly into your factory base. Some other shorty antennas will include a different base which ups the price a little bit, but in my mind, there's no reason to swap out the base. You're not going to get any better reception. It may just look a little bit different. As we said before, this will install in the Jeep very, very easily. All you need to do is unscrew your factory antenna and screw the new on into place. If the factory antenna is a little bit too tight to unscrew by hand, You may need a small adjustable wrench or the proper size open-end wrench, but that's the only tool you're going to need. If this took you 15 minutes to install, it took you a long time. Like we said before, this antenna is priced similarly to other antennas on the market of the same design. There are some more expensive all metal or aluminum antennas, but those ones will bend and stay bent and not spring back like this one will. And there are some shorty antennas that include a base but, again, it's not really necessary. Although, it will change up the look a little bit more. Even though all shorty antennas will decrease your radio reception a little bit, if you like the look, I think this is a very fairly priced shorty antenna option. So if you're looking to replace your factory, much taller metal antenna with one of these shorty antennas that not only looks better but will also spring back into shape if you do get it hooked on a trail obstacle, this is a really fairly priced high-quality option. So that's my review of the RedRock 4x4 Trail 13 inch Short Antenna fitting all 1997 to 2016 TJs that you can find right here at ExtremeTerrain.com.

13" Low Profile Flexible Design. Get rid of that ugly 30" eye sore Chrysler calls an antenna, and replace it with a RedRock 4x4 low profile 13" short trail antenna. The low profile flexible design keeps the antenna from being bent by trees, unlike the factory 30" antenna.

Excellent Radio Reception. There's no difference in the quality of radio reception! All you're losing is 17" of unsightly steel from the front of your Jeep.

Quality Build and Finish. The RedRock 4x4 13" short antenna comes in a satin-black rubber coated finish that is both scratch and weather resistant. The antenna fits like just like an OEM part, but gives you that sporty off road look.

Easy Install. Modding your Jeep Wrangler doesn't get any easier than this. This antenna mounts to the original factory antenna mount; Simply unscrew your old antenna and screw in the new one. It can be installed in under five minutes.

Application. This RedRock 4x4 13" Trail Short Antenna is a replacement antenna designed to fit all 1997 to 2006 Jeep TJ Wrangler models. Factory antenna mount required for installation.

    Don't by it

    There was no where to get a wrench on this antenna to tighten it down. I could only get the threads half way down into the mount point. Then I noticed that the radio reception was horrible so I took it off and put back on the stock antenna. This is still laying on my work bench. I say don't waste your time or money on this product

    Short antenna

    I needed a short antenna to clear the lights I mounted to my windshield hinges. The factory antenna had to be moved either in front or behind the lights but never stayed in place. It also scratched the back of my lights. This antenna clears the lights easily. I can't comment on the reception because it is winter and my jeep won't leave the heated garage till the salt is off the roads

    Couldn't be any simpler to install and radio reception is just as good as the factory metal antenna. Very pleased with only having to replace the antenna itself and not the base! Thanks so much for the easy install and excellent quality!

    This antenna is worthless

    Absolutely worthless product. I'm literally returning it today. My stock antenna isnt all that great to begin with, so I thought - "Hey, why not improve my reception AND aesthetics at the same time??" Well jokes on me, because this thing can barely pick up normal FM stations. Want to listen to a station more than 20 miles away? Good luck with that. Interested in AM talk radio? Don't worry about getting the news because you won't be able to pick up AM stations either. Side bonus, if you have any lights installed with a window bracket at the bottom corners of your window, it probably won't fit with those either.

    Very Simple

    Received the antenna and installed it in a minute. Screwed off my old one and simply screwed on the new one. Works the same as the old one and you won't have to worry about constant wobble from the old antenna anymore.

    Short Antenna

    The little antenna works great! Very, very easy to install...just unscrew the original, and add this rubber antenna. Takes about 3 minutes or so. Only downside is how much the antenna bends at speeds over 60 mph. Reception is still OK, but the antenna is really affected by wind speed...serious bending angle. I guess that's the intent, but I'd prefer just a tad more "firmness" in the rubber...hence the 4 star rating.

    Hi, just got it in the mail, and the installation was a snap! took like 4 minutes, if that long. It looks great and I've found no change in radio reception..worth the few dollars it cost, and now I won't have the old one banging up my Jeeps finish! Wrangler 2013

    Slick Look

    This short antenna is what I needed to hit the trails. Now it is harder for branches to hang on the antenna. Radio signal might be weaker than the stock antenna, but I only listen to sports radio.
