Since i will be getting a new general lee soon im looking for a good antenna to match it. IT will be mounted on the tool box behind my cab. Im thinking about a coiled antenna of somekind but im open to anything really

I would recommend either an 1) Astatic 1K 2) Predator 10K 3) Wilson 4) Skipshooter 5) Firestik .

The longer the antenna the better , MAKE SURE you ground the tool box really good if you are mounting the antenna to it. ALL antennas need to be tuned to the vehicle that they are installed on . An untuned antenna is a stick !

I myself am very happy running the Astatic 1 K that I got from Jeff. Also remember if you go with a load type antenna you want to try and get the load up over the cab as well.
