None Power Antenna for a '98 4-Runner
Hello Folks,
This is my first post. I am on my third power antena replacement for a '98 4-Runner. I ain't going to do it again. I want a simple durable antenna.
I am hoping to hear from you all that I don't have to pull the radio out and tune it to a universal antenna, like the old days.
Please recommend an antenna for 4X4'ng. I don't need anything fancy.
I have the stock '98 AM/FM/Cassette system. All I need is good FM reception locally.
I have no problem pulling the fender well out. I can defeat the power line to the antenna motor there. Is there an easy way to get at the motor relay for the radio under the dash? Do I need to mess with the relay? My concern is the battery drain.
FYI- I am pretty good at trouble shooting '81 and '82 4X4 Pickups. I still have mine. I bought it in Nov '81 and unfortunately use it to go to work every day, instead of getting into the boonies. I know I know more about that vintage truck than the experts at Toyota. I have no problem trying to answer questions on that great vehicle!
