Anyone familiar with these guys?

Looks like a simple alternative to dealing with wiring, etc- at least for someone like me who has no idea what they're doing.

Try these guys, I've got their offroad stubby and love it. They also have hidden antenna's.

AntennaX

That search is for an 08 Wrangler, make sure and look for your specific year.

just a word of caution, we have found any antenna shorter than 13 inches looses reception substantially and that is why we dont sell anything less than 13 inches

I don't have the hidden one from AntennaX, but I have the stubby euro one. It works great.
