What an Antenna?

[Doorsoff4ever]

Honestly, I've had my Bronco about three months and you know what I NEVER think about? The antenna, the front license plate mount, the standard tail lights, etc. You know why? Because I'm inside driving it having way too much fun. These discussions are fun and pass the time but I don't have the energy to sweat the small stuff anymore.

Congrats on getting your ride! This is as close as many of can get to our bronco right now, so go for a drive and leave us alone.

The only complaint I have is that it is too fat to be able to use my intenna ball collection.

Must not have ever owned a Wrangler.

This was discussed on another thread and I believe the long and Antenna actually works better.

This is still the GOAT of antenna balls!

In the 70’s, probably the most stolen vehicle accessory ever! Here today gone tomorrow…..

Its dual purpose, it also a low clearance warning system.

In person, the whip fits the Bronco and I don't even notice it is there.

I've seen folks with the stubby aftermarket and it looks dumb and out of place. IMHO.

This. In the parking garage, clang clang, hit the brakes. In the drive-thru or through your garage door, clang clang, back it on up. Hit a branch on the trail, clang clang, grit your teeth and prepare for pinstriping

Whip it! Whip it real good!

Wranglers still have them too. And Silverados weirdly.

My 2016 F150 has a full size antenna. Not sure if they have eliminated it in newer models. Like someone else said, it does come in handy as a low clearance warning system in parking garages .

Just find the bolt size, paint with with flex seal, install, walk away.

Just delete the antenna. If you’re still listening to AM or FM radio, I don’t know what to tell you other than you don’t have to.

Updated the link to the Ford one.

So the F150 one works on the Bronco? I was waiting for a Bronco specific one. Let me know. Would love to replace the stock one.

Yes, the F150 one fits the Bronco. That’s what is on mine. I inadvertently linked to the Dodge one yesterday then corrected the link after I looked at my receipt.

My parking garage at work has a 6'0" warning bar. It's actually more like 6'6" but I can drive down there and squeak through but my antenna let's me know which spots will be extra snug.

I'm gonna have to look once we get our Bronco, but i may do what i did on my Mustang which is take the ball off the end of the whip antenna, cut it down to the height of the roof, reinstall the ball with some adhesive if need be and hit it with some spare flat black spray paint. It's kinda the middle option between stock length and the smaller stubby. Made a difference in looks, but still more old school looking.
