Year: 1999
Model: Cherokee
Engine: 4.0L I6
average residential garage height is ~7' and the top of my tail light is 3'3" above the ground, which leaves 3'9" for the spring and the antenna.
I've got a 2' firestik but will probably have to sell it (too short).
I see two options and can't makeup my mind.
1. 3' antenna + spring, which will leave ~3-5" below the garage opening (how do you keep it from smacking the body?). Will this be "tall enough"?
2. 4' antenna + 90 degree fold down (already own) or quick disconnect, but I loathe the idea of having to get out to fold down on a daily basis (IE, I will probably forget, and no spring in this scenario cause I could hit the window if it was folded down and bouncing around?)
Any other options?

Isn't coolant supposed to never burn... I mean that is the point of coolant to counteract any excessful heat in the engine..... and if it keeps coming back replace ur gasket. With a GOOD one. No paper or cardboard crap. Get felpro. Very nice quality.
