1. Before, the metal factory antenna would hit my LED cubes and make noise. 


2. Use a 3/8 wrench to remove the factory antenna. 


3. Inspect the threads and possibly apply anti-seize.


4. After removing the factory antenna I observed that the new Rugged Ridge 13 in. Reflex Stubby has a longer threaded shaft than the factory antenna. 


5. Use your hands to tighten the new Rugged Ridge 13 in. Reflex Stubby Antenna. It may have a gape due to the threaded shaft on the Rugged Ridge 13 in. Reflex Stubby Antenna being longer than the factory. 


6. Installation compete.
