Reviews for AMI Stubbie Antenna Kit with Black Finish for 07-18 Jeep Wrangler JK
Great look
So much fun. This antenna adds an extra flare to the look of your Jeep and works just as well if not better then the stock antenna. Only downside is putting it on. The paint easily cracks and flakes. I should have been more careful though. However its nothing a little black nail polish couldnt fix.
I was concerned that a shorter antenna would adversely effect my radio reception, so I went with the 21-inch Stubby. It's probably around 10 inches shorter than the OEM. Happy to report no reception issues. Installation was straightforward and took only a couple of minutes using a pair of pliers. Looks much better than the OEM antenna and works just as well. Very pleased with the purchase.
I bought the Black six inch Stubbie a few days ago and am happy with the overall design and look. As far as I can tell my radio signal has not changed at all which is great!
This thing looks cool. I like the fact that the antenna isn't slapping around. There is a small reduction in reception, but it isn't terrible.
The smaller antenna is great, it does not interfer with my my mirrors when I take my doors off and I still get pretty much all of the same stations as before.
Easy to put on. Attachment point is a little iffy when you’re screwing it down because of the universal fitment, solid once it’s fully tightened though.
I live about 45 miles North of NYC (call it a sub-rural area).....I originally bought the 15 inch and experienced a lot of static on FM channels from NYC stations. I now have the 21 inch and its much better. Doesn't look as good but its working better.
I purchased the 6 inch variant so naturally I was expecting lower radio quality. That wasn’t an issue for me because I just listen to XM on my phone. I just needed a shorter antenna to throw on a car cover without cutting a hole in it. My one issue is the fact that there’s no way to tighten it with a wrench as you can with the OE antenna. Completely hand tightened and it gives me anxiety thinking that it might loosen up on the highway or something. I’ve only had it a day so I’ll find out eventually.
Loss of signal strength versus factory antenna, but the trade off is no antenna whiplash driving down the interstate or having to remove it going through the car wash.
