radio antenna

imwally · Dec 25, 2007

Okay we have all these post about replacing the radio but how about the antenna. I am going to replace the radio antenna on my daughters 92xj. Can anyone tell me if there is a easy way of doing this? It looks like I can do it from the inside the jeep?

X2, and there is a rubber plug with the antenna wire(co-ax) going through it into the kick panel. The antenna wire/co-ax is a special made unit although you may be able to modify a rubber grommet to work with any antenna co-ax. If you found a aftermarket antenna that works good and looks right on the XJ let me know, I need a new one on my 90'.

I bought one from crutchfield with the radio and speakers. Should be here Friday. In the pic it looked the same and when I called them they said it is the one that fits it. http://www.crutchfield.com/App/Product/Item/Main.aspx?g=232750&i=12044CR72&search=car+antenna&tp=3449&tab=detailed_info

Yep, that one should fit! Don't know how I missed that since I ordered my stereo/speakers from Crutchfield as well.

Team Cherokee has a couple of power antenna replacements too (search for "antenna"). One is the OEM antenna for $125 and the other is aftermarket for $55.

Unless you're replacing the wiring from the antenna to the radio, all you should have to do is unscrew the antenna and screw another one on.
