99 4Runner. I have questions about the radio antenna

Hello all. 99 4runner SR5 v6.

My automatic antenna finally broke. The antenna won't retract itself all the way down and it sounds like a gear inside is rounded out.

Is there a way that I can replace it with a normal antenna and not an automatic one?

Thanks!!

 

Here's the how to:

Part Numbers (Sept 2018):
Antenna Assembly: 86300-35090 ($54.77)
Tacoma Whip antenna: 86309-0C020 ($30.04)

Here's about as inexpensive as Toyota parts get:

With everything including shipping & a 6-pk for afterward, it's about $100 & about 3-4 hrs from prep to no more worries.
