Re: Help finding a stock radio antenna for CJ
Unfortunately, our auto part stores don't sell antenna's. Probably the
same reason WalMart doesn't sell them anymore - almost all the new cars
have them in the windshield. If you check on the web I think the
"universal" ones are all the three hole type. I want to keep it the way
I bought it. Ugly or not no one around here has them. As I stated,
even the locating service nationwide didn't have them. I have the last
year CJ and all the original paper work and no rust holes anywhere on
it. I'm keeping it the way it came from the factory and not drilling
more holes in it to mount a generic antenna. Ordering it from the local
Jeep dealer was only a little over $11. I'm happy. Thanks for your
time writing back.
