About Ronin Factory

Ronin Factory made its name with billet-aluminum short antennas for pickups and Jeeps, especially the 50 Cal bullet. The newer SmartLock line adds an anti-theft design and a UV-resistant black finish, and the original TuffLock line is being phased out.

The billet construction is car-wash safe, so it does not need to come off before the tunnel. Beyond antennas, Ronin sells truck-themed accessories, decals, drinkware and car-care products. Veteran support is central to the brand, and it says it has raised more than 3 million dollars for veteran causes.

What we carry from Ronin Factory

We carry SmartLock bullet antennas, SmartLock and flexible short antennas in 4, 5, 8 and 12 inches, 50 Cal and TuffLock antennas, and the M7 antenna adapter for Chevy.

Also in stock: magnetic fuel and DEF caps for Ram, easy oil drain replacement parts for Ford, and Ronin stickers and decals. Fitments span Ford F-150, Raptor, Super Duty and Bronco, Ram, Silverado and Sierra, Jeep Wrangler and Gladiator, Tacoma and Tundra, and Nissan Titan.

How to choose

Short antennas trade reception for looks and clearance, so pick the length with that in mind. Install is a hand-tight swap of the factory mast that takes a minute or two, and you can put the stock one back later.

  • Ronin says the 4-inch gets the weakest AM/FM reception, the 8-inch sits in the middle, and the 12-inch pulls in the most.
  • Thread size differs by make, so buy the version listed for your truck.
  • Pick SmartLock for the anti-theft design and a black finish that resists sun fade. Ronin notes the older TuffLock anodized finish can fade over time.

Ronin Factory FAQs

What are Ronin Factory antennas made of?

Ronin Factory does not publish a written warranty. It offers 45-day returns on unused items and says it will help quickly with damaged or defective items reported right away.

How fast do Ronin Factory parts ship?

Which antenna fits my truck?

Ronin antennas are specific to each make because thread sizes differ. Buy the version listed for your Ford, Ram, Chevy/GMC, Jeep, Toyota or Nissan.

Will a short antenna hurt my radio reception?

Shorter antennas pick up less AM/FM signal, so the 12-inch gets the best reception and the 4-inch the least. Ronin says its antennas do not affect satellite radio or Bluetooth.

What is the difference between SmartLock and TuffLock?

SmartLock is the newer line, with an anti-theft design and a UV-resistant black finish. TuffLock is the original design and is being phased out.

Are Ronin antennas car-wash safe?

Yes. Ronin designs them to go through automatic car washes.
