Antenna base mount/bezel whatever you call it

Has anyone run into a problem with the base mount for the antenna? Mines plastic is cracked and the base doesn't hardly hold the antenna stable anymore, think it's missing the nut that's supposed to screw it down to hold it and the internal piece is really loose and has a lot of play without it. Cannot find the part anywhere all I get is loads of 07s and parts for 97 tacomas as well as 4 runners. Thanks

 

Part is discontinued. Gonna need to hit a junkyard for it.

 

Bummer. Thank you

 

Be careful at the JY as the one you take off will be just a brittle. Mine fell apart in my hand just turning the chrome ring.

 

We need the instagram 3D printed tailgate bushing guy to print some of these …I need one too and am 0/5 at bone yards.

 

That's a fantastic idea!
I replaced mine with an RV marine antenna mounted to my front brush guard

 

I kinda wanna poke around on scamazon to find something that may pop in lol. The one and probably only thing I bought off Amazon for parts was windshield spray nozzles and I got some for a FJ Cruiser that this YouTube video recommended and they're much better imo than the dual streamers that were on there previously since I wanted ones that cover the whole window. Only thing that seemed off to me was 28 bucks and they come separate but what the hell

 

They work. I have one FJ on the left side and one Tundra on the right. I believe @shifty` said it's the same part number that's on his 06. Toyota changed the design sometime back and that's why the part shows no compatible with your 2000. Trust me, it fits and works just fine.

 

Oh yeah they fit cause they're installed already haha love them

 

Ah, sorry. I misread that

 

You're good

 

Just replace the whole thing (cheap!):

The only problem is that it doesn't include the black plastic mount or the chrome ring. Those are the discontinued parts.

 

Ah ha!

Ourisman claims to have it (but not the threaded ring)

Yeah, I might've misspoken, I think it's the top nut/ring things. @daveeasa mentioned it's NLA. I was thinking the "jewelry" (black part) was unavailable.

 

I have an entire unit to replace someday.

I did buy a replacement nut somewhere but then killed it trying to dechrome with bleach so that was a foolish experiment.

 

Et voila!

I want to retrofit the sequoia frenched/power antenna into my AC. But I haven't been able to find one.

I hate that mine hits everything driving into parking decks etc. Granted, it's a good warning.

 

I wouldn't mind just removing the antenna completely and plugging the hole. Or finding a way to mount a CB antenna there.

 

Snorkel to cover the hole and mount a marine RV AM/FM antenna to the front brush guard

 

Drilling big holes in good metal, I be like

 

I actually just bought that same part from Ourisman and it did include the black plastic mount and the chrome ring.

 

@2000TundraKid, I would honestly just buy a new antenna base assembly from Ourisman and do that since yours looks pretty rusty. I just had to do that on my truck because there was a break in my radio line. The black plastic piece and chrome nut came with my new antenna base.

That being said, I have a used black plastic piece and chrome nut if you interested, just send me a PM if you want to go that route.

You'll also want to buy some fender well clips and some other clips (for your fender flares) if you replace your antenna base. It's accessible from inside the passenger side fender, and you'll run the wire to the back of your radio.

 

Yeah I could do that, I have a Bluetooth connector to my stereo since I still got the og tape deck and with higher volumes it develops some static. Gotta go with a little restoration. I just replaced one of my AC knobs cause the clip to hold it on was broke lol
