LAUNCH EDITION Gladiator JT Club

[Tortooga Custom Works]

Damn! I made this post last night, and just got an email in my spam filter about stubby antennas for jeeps from amazon.

They're listening! shit. I mean... no they're not...

The one that freaks me out is my prime shipment boxes having advertisements based on stuff I'm researching...

My wife and I stopped by Victoria's Secret the other day to return a shirt she ordered that didn't fit, and now every other ad here is a VS ad...

Ralph-
'researching' doesn't mean finding out what happens when you press the 'buy now' button.

lol no here's an example. Late last year I was looking at the chevy silverado a lot. Comparing prices, builds, searching inventory. For a good solid month every amazon prime box delivered to my house had the new Chevy silverado artwork all over it.

Too much of a coincidence...

that is crazy.. I got another one:

Not long ago I was verbally telling a coworker (at office) about these awesome new sheets I found from Cariloha (seriously go look into those)... she had never seen/heard of said company before, or even looked them up. about 5 - 10 mins after our conversation, an advertisement for cariloha sheets came up on her work pc. Totally unrelated to her, totally unrelated to me, the pc somehow knew what we were verbally discussing and even pinpointed her out of the other 10 people in my office. (nobody else received the ads)

Its as if our phones picked up the conversation, and then somehow knew that she'd be at that specific IP address as opposed to her phone or whatever, and sent them to that IP based on typical location services data.

Big brother must have some siblings out there...

eat a snickers! You aren't yourself when you're hangry.

No such thing as a stupid question.

I do need to eat something and a Snickers would hit the spot. But my comment was directed at the 27% of reviewers who put this little joke of an antenna on their Jeep then cry about the radio reception. What did they expect? And you are correct about no such thing as a stupid question but I must now quote one of my favorite lines of all time, " there is no such thing as a stupid question, just stupid people with questions!"

Can you share the link for the antenna? How bad does it effect the signal if at all?

First day impression of the tiny antenna. I am actually pretty impressed by it. Of course I wasn’t expecting anything much but it held its ground. I was able to get my fav FM channels in HD. Caution, from time to time I’d loose about a sec of coverage due to passing a row of big trees. In short, similar experience with my XM service. Hope this helps. At $11 not too much to loose.
