This antenna should not break! It can be bent back onto itself with ease. Plus it seems to pick up stations at least as good at the stock power antenna. If you are interested in a similar setup, 4Crawler Offroad can set you up. If you want just the mounting adapter, sized 2" long, 1/2" center hole (to fit the Metra antenna base) and angled 42 degrees (for the '84-'89 4Runner or '84-'88 4WD pickup), cost is $20.00. If you want the antenna as well, modified and ready to install, add $40.00. Since my after market radio had a power antenna output signal, what I did was install a small in-line antenna signal amplifier, using the power antenna signal from the radio to turn the amplifier on with the radio. This helps to boost reception in fringe areas.   (10/10)
