stegmeierf Posted July 7, 2010 #1 Posted July 7, 2010 I have an 06 venture and someone decided they needed the top of my CB antenna more than I did. Replacement in Canada from dealer is $230.00. Does anyone have any reasonably priced alternatives?
KeithR Posted July 7, 2010 #2 Posted July 7, 2010 Not much cheaper...... POLE, CB ANT. (4XY-88143-00-00) $166.75 US $ so not sure if it would be any cheaper by the time you rec! www.partshark.com There are alternatives if you search the site Keith

Does anyone have any reasonably priced alternatives? Try Pinwall's FleaBay store if you wanna keep the OEM style. I went to Flying J and replaced both antennas, mounts, connectors and all for a little over $100.00US
Nemo Posted July 7, 2010 #4 Posted July 7, 2010 What part are you actually referring to? Is it just the top piece with a tiny ball on top that attaches to the lower portion with a couple of set scews? Or is it the section with the black CB piece?
jonesy Posted July 7, 2010 #5 Posted July 7, 2010 thats the part I need too, top half of the cb antenna.
Nemo Posted July 7, 2010 #6 Posted July 7, 2010 Okay, here's the deal. I have a CB antenna that originally, by loosening the chrome sleeve, would fold down. The threads apparently got froze up and I put too much presssure on it and broke the hinge piece. How about $75 for the whole unit?

Does anyone have any reasonably priced alternatives? The CB antenna on a 2G is prone to break off at the plastic midway point. Just saying that's what might have happened. If so, I have read on this forum where it may be covered by warranty. Mine broke when I hung it on a low overhead door but I was able to get the plastic piece milled and it works fine. You might check with your dealer per chance it broke on its own. Look through the forum and I believe you'll find evidence of them being covered under warranty and with an 06 your warranty is still good.
Bummer Posted July 9, 2010 #10 Posted July 9, 2010 My CB antenna broke at the load. I replaced both antennas with a single Firefly for about $75. The dual Firefly system works better than stock. The single Firefly setup works better than the dual - looks better too, though that could just be me. Single antenna conversion instructions here.
Sideoftheroad Posted July 9, 2010 #11 Posted July 9, 2010 looks better too Beat me to it. I think you will be happier w/ the Firestiks IMO. I think they look better than stock whether single or dual. Bummer can give you more details on the performance difference of 1 vs. 2, but thinking lately if you must have 2 for looks, do a single conversion and then use a 2nd as a dummy antenna.
wes0778 Posted July 9, 2010 #12 Posted July 9, 2010 Beat me to it. I think you will be happier w/ the Firestiks IMO. I think they look better than stock whether single or dual. The ones I got at Flying J look just like the Firesticks, and If I remember were a few $$$$$s cheaper. Also, no shipping required...
