Default Power antenna replacement options?

If you were to decide to delete the power antenna and go with a 5" powered amp mast how hard would that be?

I have a 98 4Runner with the "Tacoma antenna mod" that puts a standard antenna on the vehicle. I have a 09 4Runner that does not have an antenna, it's all in the glass. Lastly I have a 2013 4Runner that has a factory solid mast antenna. The later two make me think Toyota figured out power antennas should go away, so is there a way to make ours go away?

Toyota actually makes a part number for a 5.5" stubby antenna if I recall correctly, the hard question is what mast do you use in-place of the powered one.

I ordered some parts from Toyota and a short TRD antenna today. I will see what I can figure out. If it don't work at least I will know one way that does not work.
