What have you done to your Tacoma today? 1st Gen Edition

And Brent I know there's one under the passenger side because my carpet was always wet, and when I was investigating, I found the grommet just hanging in the hole. Wasn't seated at all! Didn't look under the driver side, but I assume there would be one there as well. And you just told me. haha

 

Oh sweet that's perfect!

 

I have the firefly model, so it is fairly flexible without a spring

 

Here's a pic of it mounted with a shell. It doesn't come anywhere close to hitting it.

 

yea those ones..





funny..hardly any grommet left on my passenger side one..all electrical wires..haha

 

Lol at 45 acp's helpful pictars

 

Awesome!

 

Yup! Haha

x2 on this! Don't listen to the manufactures that say to get medium duty or light duty springs. I'm running a 4' Firefly antenna which is supposed to be very lightweight on a heavy duty spring and it works great.

 

id get a spring if you go anywhere at all with trees.

and if its 5'..your screwed..haha

 

Get one anyways I have a 4' just like yours and the spring has helped a ton!

 

It's 3'... I will probably get a spring if I whack it too hard on a tree. We will just have to wait and see. I don't want it waving all over the place on the road either.

 

Yeah otherwise you might come close to getting hit in the face with the antenna. Monte knows.

Anyone?

 

That looks so fun!

 

Well, anybody interested in buying my hood channel mount? haha

 

One of the NM guys used the door mount from Firestik with good results.

 

Two words:

Air down

 

Oh and something else. My coax cable on the end that attaches to the radio isn't finished off. The instructions were very vague on how to do it. I have the connector and then the cable is all frayed at the end with the center metal part of it sticking out. How do i go about fixing it to the connector for the back of the radio?

 

It's called tech flex I believe. A type of wire loom. Awesome stuff! I picked it up out of a scrap bin at my local electronic store but all they had was like 2 feet so it barely makes it inside the bed rail.
