I wanted to share my recent antenna mod that I did on my 99 4runner. I have been enjoying all of the info here and wanted to contribute. I researched antenna mods here and came across a couple of nice options but I think mine is the easiest and fastest.
bought a $9 amazon antenna, like this(I have no affiliation with this company): Amazon.com
it came with a bunch of options
I simply attached them in this order. *note, I did change that lock-washer to a plain washer due to depth. the lock was too fat. use a plain washer.
then, just screw it on.
I left the original motor and everything hooked up. yes, the motor still energizes. I have an aftermarket head-unit so I just cut the blue wire to stop that from occuring. this method makes it so you dont have to pull a new antenna wire through, open your wheel well, mod your existing antenna, etc.
easy, hope this helps someone!
