Heres mine,,,got it off Ebay as well. The radio stations on Maui suck, so I use my Ipod or stream music on my Droid to the Sync. It just looks better then the stock...

 

There is no link to the replacement antenna I have, but if you check back in this thread, you will see a link to a similar one.

The reason for no link is that I purchased mine at a local O'Reilly Auto Parts store. They had a small display shelf only a couple of feet wide with about 5 styles of "Universal Mount" replacement antennas. It came with 5 different base adapters, of which one fits the Ford mount perfectly. The cost was $5.00 and I installed it in 1 minute out in the parking lot.

The reception is about 80% to 85% of the original antenna. That means when I head out of town, I lose the radio station signal about 5 miles sooner than with the original.

 

I got my antenna today and I installed it in about 2 minutes. Seems to work fine and looks good too.

The paper that came with it said it has a lifetime guaranty. Not bad for the price.

 

simple fix , cut with dremel to the size you want and use dremel to smooth cut paint with black touch up paint ,5 min job and done

 

Pep boys has a a good shorty, thats what i have on my 08 King Ranch.

 

I like this one. But, it says that the threads on the Raptor are different.

just go to any auto parts store, they have all the ones you guys have posted for half the price. i bought a 10 inch rubber one for 5 bucks from auto zone. no reception loss and lloks much better.

 

Thanks guys - got me motivated. Just got back from Advance Auto parts - got the 14" rubber universal mount. Looks much better. It took longer to open the package than to put it on.

 

Hows the reception on this?

 

I went with one of these.
