AutoZone has the non-motorized assembly, AND mast, as a kit.

Black is $24.99
Stainless Steel is $39.99

It is made by Metra. They dont have it in stock, but it only takes a couple days to come in.

 

Have you used and installed it?

 

No sir. I just got it today. Ill be able to update when I install it though. From the angle of hte pic in the tech article, it looks like the same one.

 

Be sure to post up when you get it in..I need to do a new antenna and assembly, but this is much cheaper and if it works out well, i will do that instead

 

Tried to install it yesterday, here are my findings:

ITS THE WRONG FREAKIN ONE!
-The bolt dosent line up
-The cable is too short
-It has a different threading than the Tacoma Whip (which I had on hand fromt he Tacoma)

So I returned it (which they tried to hassle me about), and just got P# 86300-35090 at the price of $45.71.

 

good thing you posted a solution before you knew it worked

 

 

So you paid $45 for the right tacoma whip parts or was that for the power replacement parts for the runner?

 

noah,

go with a proven solution, not a cheap, unproven one:

My list of future modifications grows more and more every day I read this board

Btw, your site is great Bob - I've used it a few times now!

 

crux,

thanks for the compliment; glad you got some useful info from it. i haven't update it in a few months and i'm writing a few more within the next few months (mostly maintenance related)

I paid $45 for the 4Runner Non-Motorized Antenna Assembly (PN 86300-35090).

And yes, I would like to thank you Bob. Ive done like 5 of your mods so far.

 

has anyone done a small euro style antenna thats non motorized like on an s2000?

 

S2000, LS430, IS300, Altezza Antennas are TOO rigid, so if you touch ANYTHING, Itll snap off at the base. Plus, there is really no place to mount them so they'd look good.

 

Got the assembly in today, and realized why it was $45. It came witht he whip. It was a stainless steel whip, and didnt have the twisty wire going around it liket he Tacoma one.

 

shouldve ordered from www.toyotapartsales.com ....

 

I have a really bad issue about ordering parts and stuff and having to wait for them. Plus, I have no credit card.

 

OK...

 

Yea, I can wait a couple days, my patience ends after the second day.

 

gangus,

thats why you should read the writeup before buying, champ
