Rugged Ridge 17212.13 Elite Antenna Base - Durable, Stylish Black Design

J. JohnsonJ. Johnson: Install took about 10 minutes. Removing the old factory cover is the tricky part, but it's easy if you use a small pick or pocket screwdriver to reach in and pop it out from the inside (go in by each side of where the antenna screws in). Looks good to me!

Greg MintonGreg Minton: This cover is made of aluminum and not cheap ABS plastic. The hardest part is removing the OEM antenna base cover without destroying it. Basically YouTube those exact words and you will see a video that only requires you to use a tiny screwdriver. The only thing I had to modify was the gasket, I had to cut it to put t behind the actual antenna base, you will see at I’m talking about when you take it off. Simple install that took me about 10 minutes. Hope this helps….enjoy and happy jeeping!

STORMTROOPER JKSTORMTROOPER JK: Bought this to give my JK a more rugged look and love the material it’s made from, very sturdy and looks good. Rugged Ridge gives you black screws to install which is a huge plus to match the base. Purchased the 6” Rugged Ridge antenna and love it. Installed in 10 mins

Amazon Customer: Super easy to install, anyone with with a 8mm socket and a set of allen keys can have this done in ten minutes or less . Remove stock antenna with a wrench or pliers . Use channel locks to twist off the old black mount. Place rubber washer over the base then hold the new black mount over that . Line up your holes and use the allen head bolts to install. It is aluminum so dont over tighten Easy.

TJ AIBot: Liked it comes with a rubber seal for behind the antenna base. Note that with .50 Cal bullet antennas you will have a problem that it touches the base ridges, resulting in a grounding situation. These antennas must be modified by milling a flat spot for clearance at the back. This is beyond the regular guy. Otherwise use a short stick antenna it fits as long as the bottom has enough clearance , or just the stock antenna is also good.
Rugged Ridge should have included that warning on their product, or better yet modify this elite cover so the top 7th protuding ridge is even with the rest of the base.
