    Another plug for an awesome antenna. Ordered the same one as the OP, and lots of other folks as well, removed my factory wip antenna and installed the new one. Still have my HD stations that I had before and seems to work great. I haven't had it out on the road for any length of time, but so far it's great. Looks much better too. Thanks to the OP for creating this thread!

    Has anyone bought the 13" flexible antenna? Broke my stubby off wheeling. Just wondering how flexible it actually is? And I'm assuming reception will be slightly better than the stubby?

    I was driving on the freeway yesterday and saw my stubby moving more than usual, I checked it out when I got home and sure enough the little metal stud inside had snapped.

    I wonder why it happened, I don’t go thru car washes, I hand wash. Maybe it was this Texas heat (107) and me speeding that made it fail.

    That's how mine broke. But I broke mine hitting some bushes. Replaced with the 13" flexible one. Getting better reception now.

    Would you mind sharing the link for the 13" flexible? Not sure I want to sift through 8 pages of thread and the link on OP first post doesnt seem to work. Disregard found it.

    Stock, for now
    Wondering if anyone has tried replacing the oem wip antena with a roof antena. Is it possible? As I understand that wip antena is only for the radio AM and FM stations. Please advice.

    Not sure how to use the TUNDRA10 promo code if it takes you directly to paypal.

    Oh well, giving it a try anyway since some asshole stole my 13" off my truck last night.

    Hello,

    I see that I may have missed a couple posts on here, sorry for that. Best way to contact me is through email (TheAntennaSource@gmail.com) or to call 920-686-0644

    Shipping to Canada should be available across all of our marketplaces (eBay, Amazon, TheAntennaSource.com Website). Shipping cost is $9.99 for our 6 3/4".

    The "TUNDRA10" discount is a code that we issued back in 2017 and ran it for 1 month on Amazon. I have opened the code up again and will run it till 11/15/2018, this will be available on our 6 3/4" antenna through our Amazon marketplace (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01NALK2FC). This code should be live in the next couple hours.

    Thanks Guys!!

    Zach

    I guess this would be the place to ask:
    I have the stock antenna, in kinda in the mountians reception blows up here. but in the city its not that much better.

    I want to go with a stubby so it wont hit my carport any more.

    My question is: Is there an antenna signal booster I could use? any improvment of FM would be nice.
    Stereo is all stock.

    Several guys here have had their stock antennas snapped off in touch carwashes. My only advice is to avoid using touch carwashes. Not only can they break your antenna, they're also extremely hard on your paint.

    I finally got fed up with the antenna hitting the garage door. I bought one and have had no issues with reception.

    As of today (5/8/2019) we have launched a second version of the 6 3/4" which has the same great reception, just stronger as we wanted to build the first car wash proof antenna on the market. 6 years ago we were asked to build a short antenna that gets good reception, so we did. Then we were then asked to make the 6 3/4" so that one could leave it on in a car wash, after 1.5 years of R&D and months of testing its durability can officially be said to be car wash proof. At this point we are covering the second version broken within the first year. I would suspect that it would be good for many many years of car wash abuse; That is you run your Tundra through touch car wash to begin with.

    The original version was tough enough to handle touch car washes, we just could not guarantee it. For those who have the original version which would be any purchased before 5/8/2019, in the event your antenna breaks in a car wash we have decided to arrange an upgrade/swap deal where we would simply ask for the $8.99 shipping to be covered. Any questions feel free to call or email. Good Day All!!

    I broke my stubby a couple years ago and didn't think much of it and threw it away. Zach just hooked me up with the shipping special for the new one. Great customer service... Thank you Zach.
