Thanks for the info. I am in the midst of doing this mod now. My antenna tube once cut has a rubber lining on the inside that doesn't allow my coupling nuts to go in easily. Is there a good way to get that rubber lining out?
I am looking for a 3rd gen. Has to be 4WD open to much of the other features. Looking to only spend 4k. This will be a secondary vehicle for me and I am looking to get into the 4runner world.
