Antenna Mast Black for 1976-1995 Jeep CJ5 CJ7 CJ8 YJ - Solid Fit

Our review of the Omix-Ada antenna mast finds it is a straightforward, no-frills replacement for Jeep owners who need a direct-fit, black antenna for older CJ and YJ models. The bottom line: this mast is for someone who wants an easy, factory-location swap that restores reception and appearance without aftermarket modification. Installation is simple for a DIYer, reception matches expectations for a stock-style mast, and the limited 5-year warranty adds confidence for owners replacing a worn or broken antenna.

Key Features

• Direct Fitment: Fits 1976-1995 Jeep CJ5, CJ7, CJ8 Scrambler and 1987-1995 Wrangler YJ models for a factory-location replacement.
• OE Reference: Replaces OE 82200684 so customers can expect compatibility with original mounting points and wiring.
• Finish: The black finish restores the vehicle's appearance and blends with factory trim for a clean, OEM look.
• Reception: Designed to match original performance so AM/FM reception is comparable to the factory mast when properly installed.
• Warranty: A limited 5-year warranty covers defects and gives extra assurance compared with typical short-term replacements.
• Part Family: Works as a single mast or with the complete black antenna kit 17214.02 for those wanting a full replacement set.

Who It's For

This antenna mast is aimed at Jeep owners restoring or maintaining classic CJ and early Wrangler YJ models who want a direct, OEM-style replacement. It suits mechanics, restorers, and DIY owners who prefer parts that meet or exceed OE standards and who value a simple installation into existing factory-drilled holes.

It is less appropriate for customers looking for a heavy-duty aftermarket upgrade, a telescoping performance antenna, or a styled custom mast; those buyers should look at dedicated performance or aesthetic antenna options. Likewise, if you need a full kit rather than just the mast, consider part 17214.02.
