    I got one at the end of February and love it. FM and HD FM come in great on all stations and has yet to have any issues with car washes (but I only use touchless washes). If it breaks, I will not hesitate to reach out. Cheers!

    Mine came today! How can you tell if it’s the newest version? Is it supposed to have little holes on the mast?

    Got mine yesterday. Not sure if it is normal, but the threaded stud is crooked, and the threads bottom out on the truck before fully tight. What up @TheAntennaSource?

    It’s on! You can see a small bit of material on the mast where the holes are.

    The holes are part of the molding process and both versions have them. The latest version has a faint logo of an antenna molded into the bottom of the antenna.

    If you look at the picture flyinryank just posted, the antenna should thread down flush. Email me pictures of your issue and we will figure it out.

    I installed mine this past weekend. I love it! I think it just gives it a cleaner look. Thanks, Zach. I sent you an email to confirm that I received the second generation antenna.

    @TheAntennaSource[/USER], Received mine Monday and it works great. It was exactly what I had in mind and was looking for. upload_2019-5-16_22-9-43.jpg

    I've had the 6-3/4" for about a year now. It's held up great. However, I live out in the burbs and some stations don't come in as hd anymore. Thinking about upgrading to the larger size to hopefully get back some reception

    Just got one! from Amazon though... it’s the same antenna from the same company. Just happened to work out cause I saw the product in this thread after I ordered this one. It works great and goes through car washes no problem. Great purchase!

    I'm going to keep an eye on this. I can order one up at the end of next month.

    Do you guys have anything for a 2005 GTI?
    Edit: ooooh yeah I see it! :yes:

    My last stubby was pretty weak on reception, the base cracked after a few years but I didn't need to take it off. A carwash took it off for me and proceeded to beat my truck with it! It was humiliating for my truck.

    If I may ask which one did you order? I see he has a couple/short options. I am looking for something easy to install, worth the money, and works.:) Thank you

    They screw into the Toyota antenna base. I just installed a 17 inch "stubby" antenna. It took about 5 minutes.

    For the more fringe/rural areas we would recommend our 17" All-Terrain antenna. This would be the next progression in size to get a little additional range.

    This stubby works great. I just upgraded to it. I just hate those little holes in the side. It's like they're staring at me.

    Installed my stubby last week. So far reception is great. I am not too rural so it will work fine for me.

    Put a little bit of blue lock tight on and you shouldn't have that problem unless someone has pliers with them

    I recently got the 6 3/4" for my Tundra and for my GTI. I ordered them and when I chose PayPal I didnt realize that would dictate my shipping address, I hadn't used PayPal in years so it was sending to the wrong place. Zach took care of that in no time and I got the antennas before my drive to Mexico.

    I tried the one in my truck first, sounds just like the stock antenna did, I was surprised. Disclaimer that I have a loose connection there to chase, can't blame the antenna for that at all. I love the low profile and good sound. I had tunes all 6 hours of my trip thanks to Zach.

    Next day i hopped into my GTI to drive to work, holy chit it sounded better than ever! That car has a roof mount so no doubt its optimal for a stubby, this beats the hell out of my old stubby and my old stock one.

    Many pending.....
    Just ordered the Stubby!
    Been looking at this for some time now. The positive reviews and great engagement from Zach convinced me to pull the trigger. Plus I was getting tired of constantly having to exit vehicle to remove OEM antenna before entering the car wash.

    The Tundras.com forum mod influence has begun on day 1 already!!!
