For anyone looking to do the Tacoma Whip mod.
AutoZone has the non-motorized assembly, AND mast, as a kit.
Black is $24.99
Stainless Steel is $39.99
It is made by Metra. They dont have it in stock, but it only takes a couple days to come in.

Tried to install it yesterday, here are my findings:
ITS THE WRONG FREAKIN ONE!
-The bolt dosent line up
-The cable is too short
-It has a different threading than the Tacoma Whip (which I had on hand fromt he Tacoma)
So I returned it (which they tried to hassle me about), and just got P# 86300-35090 at the price of $45.71.
