when i bought my jeep it had a power antenna. the motor was stripped. i replaced, still had electrical problems going up and down, peplaced it again and same problems. then i peplaced it with the factory power motor and still having problens, i even changed the relay. i cant find the problem but i found the fix. a fixed antenna, one that doesnt go uup and down.



but my question is do they make them for a 1990 cherokee. the the beazel that goes around it?


please help

 

Sure your 1990 should be the same as my 1991 and I bought my antenna through crutchfield and it came the needed adapter and all and fit like it should.

 

ok thanks.

but it mounts to the fender flesh and everything?

 

Yes it did. Mounted just like the factory one did. If you aren't sure you could always find an XJ that is a base model and buy the standard fixed antenna from the JY.

 

my 90 came with a fixed antenna, but I took it off cause I don't need a radio and the part of the fender where it comes out of was dented and the antenna mount was broke.

 

just make your own mount and put it on the back

 

Thats not a bad idea. I think Im gonna do that.

 

thanks i found the right antenna on crutchfield



if i put it on the back therer would be a hole right there.



my jeep isnt chopped up like most

but it will still go anywhere theres can. even farther.

 

Check the junkyard. the one i go to around here has tons of anteannas and mounts lying on the ground because the person who took the fender it was attached to didnt want it.

 

i got both of mine out of the junkyard. they looked to me when i was looking through the several XJ's out there that they would interchange you just need the whole thing starting with the cable that goes into the cabin to the antenna itself

 

not alot of junk yards, not i can buy i new one for $9.99

 

my motor went out and was in up position just disconnected power to it. So it stays up all the time.
