Antenna replacement help ??? (1 Viewer)

[pdugas]

I need to replace the antenna on my 82 FJ60. Do I have to take the fender skirt off to get to a nut ? I took the nut off the base from the top but could not get it off . Everything I found on youtube seems to be for a power antenna. Does anyone have any "Indian tricks" for this ?

Decades ago I removed my original manual pull-up antenna and installed an electric one. I don’t remember how the original one came off but I didn’t remove the fender and it wasn’t a problem removing the antenna.

This is good news

I just did this. I did remove the washer reservoir. The antenna came out easily. All and all it went smooth. I did an aftermarket antenna… it looks crappy and I’ll replace it with a real one soon.

I purchased a new oem from vintage teq parts, easy install

Vintage Teq is sold out of 60 antennas. Is there another option people have used that looks alright and bolts in easy?

Comes out easy and like he said get the washer jar out and easy. Get back there with a box wrench and done! Cleaned mine up

Where does the antenna wire route through the firewall?

Going to bump this.

I never had a factory antenna, or one that was hooked up, in my truck.

Just pulled the dash and installed a new radio/speakers and need to run the antenna to the back of the radio head.

Can anyone chime in with the location that the antenna line goes through the firewall?

FJ62 Ant wire (below 2 blue wires) runs thru firewall at major grommet. Need to remove washer fluid reservoir.
