Looks good. I like the rubber antennae but it looks a little short. It might look better with a pic of your entire runner to get a better perspective.

I like it and appreciate the thriftiness compared to Yota pricing

But can you tell us more? I can see the photos but not sure I am fully appreciating it all.

Does that base rubber gasket actually fit our fender angle to seal properly? You simply unscrewed the stainless whip that came with it and screwed on the rubber ducky one?

ha! I see now it's a 6 year old thread... great ideas never die and I found this searching Google easier than through the Forum

Um, it looks like a $15 mod. The Toyota OEM parts look, well, OEM.

It's a good option if you're looking to save money, but it looks pretty ghetto if you ask me.
