Default Whip antenna??

Anyone know how to make one? I need one for my wrangler. I am looking to make something like what would be used for a CB radio.

thanks

Kenny: post up some pics of yours. I dont think I have seen em.

For now I made a antenna in the stock location. I may add a whip to the back later on. I just soldered a little peice of coil spring to the bottom of some metal wire and a nut behind it to meet up with the body. Didnt turn out too bad... ( it's not funtional but it looks cool)

Here is one style I make. This kind would be $8 shipped priority. I just need about a day after it's paid to get it out. If you post up the 1:1 style that you want I'll let you know what I can do. Thanks guys
