Short Antenna Mast Jeep Wrangler JK/JKU 2007-2017 and JL
A short, flexible antenna mast for the Jeep Wrangler JK/JKU 2007-2017 and for the JL. It screws in where the long factory mast was — no modification and no work on the wiring. The photo shows a black, rubberised tapered mast with a metal threaded end.
Short Antenna Mast Jeep Wrangler JK/JKU 2007-2017 and JL
The factory antenna mast on a Wrangler is long and stands proud of the bonnet — it catches branches on trails and beams in car washes, and it sits right in the frame once the windscreen is folded. This short, flexible replacement solves all three at once.
The supplier lists a fit for the Wrangler JK and JKU from 2007-2017 and for the JL generation. Fitting means unscrewing the original mast and screwing this one in — nothing more.

Fitting and notes
You unscrew the original mast from the base on the front wing and screw this one in. The supplier gives neither the mast length nor the thread size — Wranglers are seen with different standards, so if your vehicle has a non-original antenna base, confirm the dimensions with us before ordering. The supplier also says nothing about how the shorter mast affects radio reception; a shorter antenna inherently receives less well than a full-length one.
Frequently asked questions
Is any modification required?
No. Per the supplier the mast simply screws into the original base.
Does it fit the Wrangler JL?
The supplier lists the JK and JKU from 2007-2017 and the JL.
Will the radio pick up just as well?
The supplier gives no reception figures. Any shortened antenna receives less well than a full-length factory mast — in town the difference is often unnoticeable, out of transmitter range it is not.
