It is not clear to me how the stubby mounts to the Tacoma assembly; please advise.

the stubby comes with a 1 1/8 inch long threaded stud that screws into both the antenna and the mast.

Great write up. The antenna on my 99 rx was siezed half way up. I pulled the unit out last night to remove the mast and it would not budge. So I tugged and twisted and allowed my ego to get the best of me.





I guess I wont be needing the replacement mast now.

I came in the house feeling defeated and searched out info. This thread is a great idea. I did the taco whip mod on my 99 4runner to switch from a power antenna to a solid mast. Im going to do the same on the rx. The mast on my 08 sienna has the same black mast as the tacoma. Im guessing there are a few more toyotas that have the same part.

Whats good to know is the taco base will fit in the tube of the rx fender mount. I'll need to take a trip to the pick and pull junk yard and see what I can find.

Did you ever get this resolved? I like how our newer vehicles no longer have antennas mounted to the body, I should have done that mod.
