Back from the grave.

Will a Tundra 2000 antenna work?

I found this writeup, and then lost it (couldn't get to it from that link, but eventually found it).


Here is an alternative, if that one keeps disappearing.

Thanks for the great idea.


I would add that the stupid grommets (wheel well plugs) are about $1 each. After I broke the first two, I just went down to the dealership and bought a handful. Then I tore the hell out of the rest, without a care in the world.

Also at NAPA. No cheaper, but may be more convenient. It is for me by 15 miles:

Would you prefer a new thread every six weeks where five people tell the poster to search and find this one?

Yeah, I generally look for the thread with the most recent activity, the thread with the most activity, or the thread that seems the most relevant, if I have something to add.


I'm not big on starting new threads on a site like this, unless I am positive it hasn't been asked.


In this case, I had a good link to a write up, so I thought I'd leave it here for the next person who did a search.
