Thinking about replacing the factory long antenna with a short one. Please vote for me and include any recommendations you may have on specific brands and where to get it - thank you!

I say get it.  But skip the antenna-x one.  The mount they supply to make it a universal fit is simply a plastic tube.  As such, any sideways pressure on the antenna (ie branch, carwash, little kids) can cause it to "break".  The antenna itself is OK, and the company is good to deal with, but after purchasing one myself, I would highly recommend another brand.  Another problem it has, is that if you have added an aftermarket antenna mount cover, the plastic base it too big to fit in the hole and has to be "modified"  One like Dennis has, is clearly superior, and is about the same price.  It has a great mount and comes in different "colors". 

This site has good prices and options for ones like Dennis has http://www.performanceproducts4trucks.com/Productpage.aspx?pid=109926&name=Stubbie%20Replacement%20Antenna&part=

Also, when ordering one, do NOT forget to order the correct adapter mount!

Or... you could do it for free with a wire cutter or hacksaw...

I order the antenna x from ebay last thursday. It shipped out today. I will post my thoughts, once installed. I park in a low garage at work . The factory one takes a major beating from low hanging pipes, etc.! I really need this kind of antenna.

Did you order an adapter with the X or does it screw right in?

The antenna-x one comes with a common female mount used on many vehicles, and also includes 3 adapters which allow it to be used on almost any vehicle.  It's not a bad product, but there are better out there IMO.

Rutt dog,
Which one did you actually purchase (I see a list from the link)?  Does the length matter?  Also, which adapter would I need, I see 3 of them (see below).  Do I need all 3 (I have an 07).
Thanks,
Machines
