my factory motorized antenna finally went out, and i want to replace it with a non moving stationary antenna. does anyone know which one will fit with out too much trouble? thanks

 

search "tacoma whip" mod or tacoma antenna or similar

 

thanks, i searched "antenna" with only cb antenna results. the tacoma whip antenna, is that what comes stock? i can get them wholesale i just need to know if the tacoma one is factory. thanks

 

Tacoma whip antenna is a direct bolt on swap for a 3rd gen 4Runner.

 

This should help. http://www.4runners.org/articles/whip/

 

Crappy thing for me is I swapped out a perfectly working power antenna for the Taco whip and now the reception is horrible. There's really only one way to plug this in and it doesn't work well for me. Good luck though...

 

thanks guys, this site is awsome! i have wanted one of those since i bought the truck and was just waiting for it to go out, i appriciate the info

 

If your reception sucks then you didn't hook something up right or it is shorted...they do make antenna extension cables. My CD player/radio is in my center console between the seats and I installed a Taco whip on my 87...works great and no power antenna to rip off.

 

my power antenna has been broke for months i just unpluged it and pulled it up works fine when i listen to the radio wich is almost never

 

Non-SR5 runners don't have a power antenna either.

I would just do what Elton did unless you really like the look of the black whip.

 

fyi...When i bought my Tacoma antenna assembly from Northridge Toyota, it came with a chrome antenna. The black whip from what i believe has to be purchased seperate.
I did however, take a black whip (antenna) off my brothers wrecked '01 Tacoma so thats what i'll be using when i get around to swaping out my curently broken motorized antenna....which i was going to do anyway when it still worked.
