H2 Stubby Antenna...anyone has one? & does it work?
Does anyone have one on their truck?
Does it work good? Where do you buy one? Thanks ![]() |
Re: H2 Stubby Antenna...anyone has one? & does it work?
I'm curious also. I'd like to replace mine as well.
Unfortunately most of this forum's members only check in about every 2-3 months it seems with the exception of about 5-10 die-hards such as us. |
Re: H2 Stubby Antenna...anyone has one? & does it work?
^I do like the one posted. It looks like one of those flexible ones that end up bending over time so a shorter...fatter.....rigid one would be great....the antennae people....

Re: H2 Stubby Antenna...anyone has one? & does it work?
I simply shortened my stock antenna. Only did it so that the antenna was shorter than my roof. I haven't noticed a difference in reception with radio and it was really easy to do. Took 5 minutes.
Just take your antenna off the truck and place in a vise. Use the pry side of a hammer or similar to pop the antenna "ball/tip" off. Careful tho as mine went flying. Then took a cutting wheel grinder and shortened to desired length. Used a jb weld type epoxy to put antenna "ball/tip" back on. Finally sprayed antenna with some black rattlecan i had laying around to touch up any scratches. and your done. |

Re: H2 Stubby Antenna...anyone has one? & does it work?
just oredered mine. does it just replace the old one or do you need that adaptor thing they are also selling?
|
Re: H2 Stubby Antenna...anyone has one? & does it work?
Should be fine without the adaptor but if you find you need one then you probably can get one at a local parts store. I have this antenna and it was o.k. without adapter.

Re: H2 Stubby Antenna...anyone has one? & does it work?
Thanks for the info, just ordered mine.
|
Re: H2 Stubby Antenna...anyone has one? & does it work?

Re: H2 Stubby Antenna...anyone has one? & does it work?
I'm assuming that's the Amazon one from the link?
Also did you need the adapter? It looks good, need to put my order in! |

Yes it was purchased from the amazon link It comes w/a threaded adapter that you thread the antenna ...and then to truck. Looks good...wish there was a rubber boot to make it look factory...like the pic on that blue H2.... but it works! |
Re: H2 Stubby Antenna...anyone has one? & does it work?
Mine arrived today. I haven't installed it, but it looks good.
|
Re: H2 Stubby Antenna...anyone has one? & does it work?
that looks like the factory boot, are you sure the factory one doesn't come off the metal antenna?
I wouldn't want to run with it off since I'm sure it would collect water in there. |
Re: H2 Stubby Antenna...anyone has one? & does it work?
I ordered mine as well. It says they're almost out of stock, thanks partially to this thread I'm sure :p
|
Re: H2 Stubby Antenna...anyone has one? & does it work?
I just trimmed the top of the factory boot and made it fit :) I didn't need the threaded adapter for mine, this antenna even fits the little tiny one on the roof.
|
Re: H2 Stubby Antenna...anyone has one? & does it work?
Looks good! I ordered one today too!

My stubby antenna just came in today. I also noticed the open "well" at the base of the antenna mount. To help remedy this look, I used my OEM antenna boot by clipping only the amount off the top/tip in order to fit snugly at the base and then tucked in the bottom of the boot to the chrome holder so it gives a more OEM fit to it. I also checked the signal using it and I didnt notice any difference either. But I was in town too. I usually listen to XM radio anyway. But I must say that I do like the appearance overall on how it compliments the H2 on the vehicle. Well worth the $. |
Re: H2 Stubby Antenna...anyone has one? & does it work?
they look good gents. I put in my order yesterday after confirming myself that factory boot does come off. Can't wait to get it! :dancingbanana:
