Eagle_SX4 Posted July 10, 2024 Posted July 10, 2024 I am trying to find a 97+ Cherokee antenna mount and wire. They don't seem to be available new and the local junkyards don't have any 97+ Cherokees.
schardein Posted July 10, 2024 Posted July 10, 2024 Dang, I just returned from a week long parts finding trip. Had I known, I could have grabbed one of several I saw.
Eagle_SX4 Posted July 10, 2024 Author Posted July 10, 2024 I did some more digging and found it is called an antenna base. The part number is Mopar 56038505AB and has been discontinued.
Torq_Shep Posted July 10, 2024 Posted July 10, 2024 Is the 1997+ antenna base just curved different to accommodate the change in panel shape or are their other changes?

Yes and the antenna has male threads on it versus the pre 97 which had female threads on it. I have part of the antenna base that was on the fender when I bought it but none of the parts interchange with the old style. I am looking to get a complete base with the wire uncut.
schardein Posted July 29, 2024 Posted July 29, 2024 Is this what you're looking for? Good shape, except the chrome mounting nut was stuck in place. I had to use channel locks to get it to loosen up, so it's scarred up.
Eagle_SX4 Posted July 30, 2024 Author Posted July 30, 2024 @schardeinYes it is. Oddly you can find NOS nuts but not the bases so that isn't a problem. How much do you want for it?
schardein Posted July 30, 2024 Posted July 30, 2024 The junkyard didn't charge me for it. So if you could cover shipping that would be good. If you msg me your address I could get a shipping cost.
