Has anyone figured out how to wire an aftermarket Metra power antenna to work with the factory switch and an aftermarket radio? So the way it works now, the power antenna goes up automatically every time the car turns on and the radio is on and goes down as soon as the radio is off. I wanted...
Hoping someone might have some guidance for me. I did the 80 series electric antenna swap into my 62 today. Works like a beauty. From this thread:

Hey folks, so I've been working out the kinks on my recently purchased 80 series and the power antenna is the last thing that isn't working. I'm able to get it to extend and retract using alligator clips directly to the battery but nothing from the inside gets it going. When I first started...
I just replaced to antenna mast(amazon purchase) and when to mast retracts the motor continues to run for 15-20 seconds with noise that sound like to teeth a jumping. I pulled the new mast back out and the teeth all look good.
Any suggestions before I switch to a stubby?

I’ve searched Mud and the internet, in general, but haven’t found what I’m looking for.
Someone stole the power antenna locking nut and the antenna shaft exited the unit. Not knowing what I was doing, I broke the shaft’s geared plastic lead; it was very brittle.
I got a...

Your radio doesn’t actually suck, but your antenna system can probably use some help. Here is the first video in a 2 part antenna system series where I attempt to simplify the importance quality coax, antennas, antenna setup and tuning. The results are quite drastic. These videos are just a...
Starting to plan what kind of build to do on my new-to-me '14 LX. Bigger tires and sliders are first on the list. HOWEVER, I am also dealing with a garage built in the 1940s that is quite height restricted. I am looking at removing the roof rack since I likely won't need it for me and the dog...

Hey guys. New LX470 owner here. I’ve looked all over the forums and haven’t found anything definite on how to disconnect the power antenna. Some say you can access through the glove compartment/cabin air filter area. Some behind the passenger wheel liner. I’m just hoping for a little more...
Last weekend I finally had the antenna bracket for the Codan antenna installed on my spare wheel carrier.
So I thought, lets test the system.
It powered up, when changing channel I could hear the antenna tuning.
But when making a selcall test call, I didn't hear anything. Silence.
On the screen...
Forgive me as I have little electrical knowledge of these thing electrical wise.
So, the inevitable finally happened on the trail and I forgot to lower my antenna on my 91 fj80. She snapped. I’m hoping the easy fix was that I could just take the mast off and replace it with a new one. However...
Recently acquired a new to me 1997 FJZ80. It's a GCC unit and thus I've been slowly but surely refreshing the gold trim with what I CAN find. This involved ordering in a new hood emblem, rear emblems, and gold grille (with the sombrero). Only two pieces of the puzzle remain, the elusive gold...
Team,
I converted to a dongle antenna, so I don't need the mast going up/down every time I use the radio. I can't seem to find a pic of where the antenna relay is actually located....the google searches show me it should be somewhere under the passenger side dash, but if there is an easier way...
This is fresh this morning.
Got truck in the garage yesterday for fluid changes and left it on HI.
Took car out this morning and the freaking roof antena caught up on the door edge, bent the door and in the process was partially pulled out of the roof.
I have a trip comming up in 10 days so need...
Hi Everyone,
Finally getting back out there with two kids, the wife and two dogs. I have transitioned from a FJ62 to a 100 series for the extra space, comfort and reliability, and working towards building up the 100 series with as few mistakes or regrets as possible.
A part of this...
