Well as the title says I am in the maket for a new antenna b/c mine is broken. What type of antenna or what antenna would you guys prefer. I looked on ebay and alot of them said that the reception would be worse than the factory antenna. Any input would be great thanks.

The billet antenna looks really good but I like my OEM antenna because it lets me know if I'm going to scrape the top of the cab on something before I go under it.

 

this just screws on and your done or is there any wiring cause the antenna I have which is stock just screws off with no wiring.

Thanks for the quick posts guys

 

It just screws on. I love mine. I can pick up San Antonio from Austin, which is about 75 miles. The stock one never did that well.

 

That why I'll never ditch mine. It's smacked into a few things that required me backing up.

i have a little 15" billet one. i love it.

 

Billet FTW

I love mine

 

I have a lil billet antenna as well, i got it for Christmas, and I love it!!! It gets great reception, and yes it just screws into the stock location, very simple install!

 

alright sweet thanks guys for the input, I'm going to get the one from stuffforyourranger.com. Should I get the black or polished one I can't decide?

 

i have a 6 inch billet one, gets just as good reception as the stock one did

 

I chose the chrome cause my truck is black, but if you have a lighter color truck, i think that the black might look better.

 

Personally i live my 12" Billetin STAINLESS steel antenna... screws on just like stock... I run it all year in the salt and everything and being stainless i never had had a problem with it..

bringing this back up because I still haven't got a new antenna, and was wondering could I just get another Ranger antenna at a junkyard. will it fix my crappy reception, or be the same.

 

Just get one from autozone for 14.99 I got one and it is rubber so it wont break

 

yeah, what he said... shouldn't harm your reception...

 

I get great reception with mine on regular FM radio

my XM will lose reception before regular radio reception goes.

 

advanced auto, works perfect, 5 bucks and i love it

 

Thats the exact same one I got. I however did not pay 5 bucks for it

 

well worth the 5 bucks!

 

I have an extra stock one at my parent's house.
