What is this?

[CWR33]

Ok so I'm starting my snorkel install and I find this. What is it? It's in my way can I remove it?

2000 LX470

Ironman snorkel

 

[100 TD]

Motor assembly for power antenna?

 

[CWR33]

Makes since. So how hard would it be to remove that and install a solid antenna? As in what would I have to do

Remove the power antenna assembly and install a fixed antenna. Should be able to get one at an auto parts place. Might have run cable to radio.

Nuther win for safari and the ebay snorks, retain the power antenna.

If you're not sure how to remove the antenna I'd take a moment before you drill a 4 inch hole in your fender.

As you now realize, most snorkels were designed for RHD LC's that have the antenna on the other side.

Its 2012, do you really NEED an antenna?

Depends on what kind of antenna you're talking about. 2M? yes. GPS? Yes. Sirius/XM? Yes. FM? Nope! CB? Nope!
