Product Description

The Rugged Ridge 17212.41 Elite Antenna Base replaces the factory plastic antenna base on the Jeep Wrangler JK, JL, and Gladiator JT with a precision die cast aluminum unit finished in a textured black powder coat. The included 6-inch Reflex antenna replaces the full-length OEM mast with a compact, snag-resistant short antenna that clears garage doors, low branches, and trail obstacles without compromising reception for standard AM/FM use. The bolt-on design requires no cutting or drilling and installs with basic hand tools in under an hour.

Part of Rugged Ridge's Elite exterior accessory line, the antenna base brings custom billet styling to one of the most overlooked exterior details on the Wrangler and Gladiator. A protective gasket is included to seal the mounting point and prevent paint damage at the base. For owners who prefer a different antenna length, the base is compatible with all Rugged Ridge Reflex antennas from 6 to 21 inches, available separately. Backed by a 5-year limited warranty.
