Antenna

Hey there everyone, I have a quick question.

Is there any way to retract my antenna on my 2012 prerunner? It always hits trees and I'm scared I'm gonna break it off haha.

If I can't are there any good antenna alternatives?

Thanks again,
Cameron

 

I purchased and installed this little fella right here:

AntennaX The Shorty (5") Antenna for Toyota Tacoma

Works great. Make sure you snug it down really good. I wrapped it in a towel and squished some channel locks around it to make sure it was installed nice and tight.

 

I read some of the reviews and it said they lost signal. Did you lose any signal?

 

I got mine from a honda s2000. With a small modification, it works great

 

Oooh I like the look of that. What year is your taco? And also nice stance

 

Thanks! It's an 09.


Careful being a girl and asking questions. Usually ends up catching a bunch of hard heads. Lol I'm. Sure they will be in. Here after the holiday

 

I went through various stages of hacked stocker, floppy and a modified CB antenna. Now I just run nothing and keep a floppy in my glove box.

 

I am running a Cravenspeed "Stubby". So far I haven't noticed any lost reception. I'll report back when I get out in the mountains to see how it works.

 

Hmm so do you get reception? I do listen to the radio every now and then and I need to use my Bluetooth

Alrighty cool beans. How much do they run if you don't mind me asking?

 

I don't get any reception except for the local country station. It's just a bolt that happened to fit there. FWIW the stock antenna chopped in half had just as good reception as full size and better than the floppy.

 

It was 19.99 plus shipping.

 

It's a shorter antenna so it's not going to be as strong as the full length atenna... that having been said, I still get all of my stations just as clear as I did before and I travel from 1hour outside of the city into the middle of it for work, and then an hour back out of the city and get all the stations just fine.
