On my continued crusade against corrosion I found that my craven speed stubby antenna is completely flaking apart. So normally I'd just repaint it but it's pretty far gone. That said I'd just do a one for one replacement but now I'm back home for a bit I've been listening to local radio I realize the stubby kind of sucks, especially for AM.... So my question is, is there any stubby antenna like that but maybe, double the size so I can listen to the radio more than 3 miles from the broadcast antenna?

Also Michigan is ******* wild... I remember sitting in a blind for hours not seeing shit.. I pull into a hardware store parking lot and see this...

If your stubby is a cravenspeed, I'd contact them for a free replacement. If it's not a cravenspeed, get that as a replacement.

I went with a stubby antenna at my old house due to the OEM antenna hitting the garage door and afraid it was going to break. Moved to my new house and the garage door can be opened a lot further due to no steel beam in center of garage so I went back to OEM and love the better reception. The stubby I had was like 12 inches and it would bend over at highway speeds :(.

Also guys, if you guys have the GJ Motorsport (or similar) power steering fluid reservoir, the K&N HP-2009 fits it; has the same bypass pressure but its like 3 inches longer than the one provided. I wish I had known that before I serviced it this past weekend.

As you all know, a few extra inches can make all the difference in the world.

Noticed it was tougher to get the shifter into Drive this morning. Got to work and it rows through N, R and P fine but when I go back to D or M, it takes double the effort. Is something about to break?
