    I bought some fenders from a fellow member and the antenna part is all jacked up. I can't find a way to get the fucking thing off. Anybody have any input?

    It's an 89 Toyota Pickup. I got some stuff done to it.. FJ axles going under it soon.
    Looks like it's a rivet type piece, maybe a puller? Dunno if puller will bite that though.


    Dremel it off? then use a punch to pound out other piece?

    Looks like it's a riveted joint though..

    I'd dremel the plastic top off partially (careful don't buzz the fenders), then inspect from there.


    Are those Micahs?

    If so...:(
    and if you lift your truck, I'm gonna shoot you.

    Dammit, i just sepnt 20 minutes googling how to get this thing out. I really want to know now. It has to come off somehow, they sell the fender separate. It looks like you beat the hell out of it trying to get it off though.

    I just figured it out. Cut the rubber piece off from the top, and there should be a nut underneath it. or you can maybe try and twist the black part off, it's a cap I believe.

    There is a special tool for removing the locknut on the top the antenna mounts. That pic shows that it was shot; A cut off wheel would finish it off.
