- In this video I install an Antenna bracket for my Toyota Landcruiser 200 Series (LC200) that I purchased from East Coast Off Road. It is manufactured by Vogue Industries. The need for the antenna bracket came about because the factory antenna is located in the rear drivers side window, and this was removed during the installation of the Emuwing windows in my Toyota Landcruiser 200 Series. I also review the product and ease (or otherwise) of installation.
Next episode I replace my VMS head unit with a 12 inch unit from EC Offroad. Be sure to subscribe so that you do not miss any of that action!
Thanks for sharing your time and in your support of my channel. Tell your friends, share the love!
Keep the shiny side up!!
I am a huge proponent of not having any antennae out the front. For the AM/FM radio, what we do (and what I have done) is get a stainless Z bracket and mount it under the bonnet on the left side (there is a bolt close to the A pillar) and then mount an antenna base with a spring with a 1m stainless wire whip element on top. It is not in the field of view nor does it get broken off by branches in the scrub. It's tough as nails. Even if a strong branch catches it at the base the spring allows it to bend 90 degrees. Hope this gives you some ideas. I can send pictures and links to products if you want more info.
I’m happy with my setup but thanks for the offer Ade. I’m sure other viewers will read your comments and get some ideas😉😎
@@JafffaAdventures Yeah, many city based 4wd shops don't sell products which are farm proof nor paddock proof.
I hear ya mate👍😎
I bought that exact same Rivnut/Nutsert gun a few months back, I used it to mount my fridge slide in the tub of our Colorado and have used it for several other projects like mounting my over wheel arch water tank straps/brackets etc..... handy little tool for a professional looking finish!
I’ve used it on a couple jobs now and I can’t believe this little tool was not in my life earlier, I love it! Sounds like you are a fan too. Thanks for watching and commenting mate, I sincerely appreciate it. Keep the shiny side up😎👍
May i ask what brand and where did you purchase it from?
Looks like a must have, lol.
Nice one Terry. Keen to see the big screen! Thats bigger than my TV.
I hear ya mate. I’ve heard good and bad reports so it should certainly be interesting. Thanks for watching and commenting, I sincerely appreciate it 😎👍
great video Terry, the answer to my problem has be solved once again so keen to see what you think of the head
unit.
Thanks for the comments and compliment Danny, I sincerely appreciate it. Re the head unit, yes indeed. I have heard equally good and bad about them but decided to take the punt. I’ll post my results and unbiased feedback over the coming weeks. Thanks again mate!👍😎
Great video Terry, all these new tools wow!. Looked up the 12 inch display head unit and it looks exciting. Pretty powerful and versatile piece of gear. Can't wait to see it installed. Cheers Andrew
Thanks Andrew, I know they keep inventing new tools and I keep having to buy them😂. Thanks for watching and comment mate, I sincerely appreciate it 😎👍
Nice one Terry!
Looking forward to next weeks vid.
Cheers Eric
Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment Eric, you are very kind. See you next week, so to speak😉👍
Thats awesome, I will need that when I get you to fit my emu wings. Cheers Steve
I think you spelled “you’re” going to fit your emu wings wrong😂. Thanks for watching and commenting Steve, I sincerely appreciate it 😎👍
Please tell us you painted the hole after enlarging it! Great spot for rust to start otherwise. Good video again. Cheers, Andy.
was mentioned in the video that it was done
@@dannyjansen6011 Must've missed it.
Yes with POR15 Andy, great product. I am pretty sure I mentioned that in the vid. Thanks for watching and keeping me honest. Cheers!
Nutsert tool....the beginning of a new obsession. Ask me how i know!
Too funny Brett. I’m looking for places to drill holes just so I can use it, so I feel your obsession 😂😎👍
I’m curious to see if the antenna performance is better than the glass style was. Excellent video I’ve been thinking how these brackets mounted
Thanks for the feedback and kind words Scott, I sincerely appreciate it. Regarding a comparison on antenna performance, I’m not sure I will be able to draw any meaningful conclusions. The reason for this is that two variables are at play. Firstly the new antenna, secondly the new head unit. If it’s better or worse I’m not sure I could point to one or the other with any degree of confidence. I’ll be installing the head unit over the next week or so and will certainly share my experience for what it’s worth. Cheers👍😎
good job
Thanks Timmy, appreciate your taking the time to comment 😎👍

Love you’re work mate😎👍
What the link for the next video about getting through the firewall mate ?
Oh that’s a while ago now, I think it might be this one. Cheers

Forgive me if I’m wrong
But have you not just riveted your guard in place permanently with your rivnut 🤔
Thanks for the question. The short answer is no, the bolt I removed is the only thing holding the guard on at that spot. You can see this in the video when I lever the guard to fit the antenna lead. Cheers 👍😎
Cheers Terry
Great vid mate. What antenna did you swap over to?
Thanks Johnathan, I appreciate you taking the time to comment. The antenna is a simple one off fleabay, but I did have to extend the lead as I think most are 1.5m and are too short.
Cheers 😎👍
ok perfect. Did you happen to come across any antennas that will plug into the blade connector where the original antenna on the rear glass connects to. I'm not too keen on ripping gout the head unit to plug in an after market one. Thanks heaps for your reply.
My pleasure Johnathan. I did not come across any blade connector antenna, but having said that I was really not looking that closely either. Cheers😎👍
