Play it again Sam
I've had mine for a couple years now and need to order another for my 2nd antenna. I'm impressed. And thanks for the stickers!

A very simple design. Keep it simple
These things are great. Super simple. Easy to instal. The only issue I had was that I had to trim some of the weather stripping on the cowl under the windshield so that the mount sat flat, otherwise, the antenna was leaning forward. But other than that, I would buy these again. I bought two. One for a dual band ham antenna and one for a gmrs ghost antenna.

Tacoma hood antenna mount
What an Ingenious idea! I really didn't want to drill any holes in the roof of my new Tacoma, and fender lip type mounts are too flimsy. This bracket for a NMO mount works great! Like others have said make sure to get a "thick" NMO mount for this bracket. It's also easy to remove the antenna and go through the carwash with this setup.

Tacoma hood antenna mount
Price didn't seem bad. So, worth a try. Installed one and noticed right away that the hood sat higher on that side. Messed with it some with and no change till I removed it. In stalled both for the heck of it, and they both raised the hood as to where the body lines did not match up as in stock form.
That said, after looking at the mount and seeing that they hit the plastic cowl below the windshield.. that is what was causing them to push up on the hood. Removed them and will try something different.
Response from our team
Did you have the mount between the hood and the hood hinge or under it? It should not raise the hood at all if it's under the hinge. Please reach out to our tech support team and we can help troubleshoot the install.

Better Than Expected
This unassuming piece of bare aluminum fits well and provides a solid antenna mount. I found this item through Tacomaworld.com where detailed suggestions included antennas. My final setup works better than anticipated. I highly recommend this product.

Tacoma Hood Antenna Mount - 3rd Gen
Mount is perfect! Didn't want to drill for a roof mount with all the airbags in the truck.Mounting was easy! Only removed one bolt at a time. Started with the bolt closest to the front. Remove bolt, installed mount, snugged bolt, removed second bolt, slid mount over and installed second bolt. Didn't have to worry about hood moving. Used a Diamond Antenna "C213SNMO" NMO mount. Perfect. Also installed ground cable to the frame.

I love it!
Mount fits perfectly on the hood of my 3rd gen Tacoma. I have a dual band antenna mounted on it and a SWR of 1.3-1.6 through all of my channels.
*** NOTE *** You will need to get a "Thick Mount" NMO to make this work properly. The center pin on a regular NMO mount will not stick through enough to contact the base of the antenna. I also ran a ground strap from the mount to a good ground in the engine compartment instead of grounding through the hood hinges and latch.

Works great
I have two of these mount on my Tacoma. A dual band vhf/uhf on the passenger side and a 10 meter on the driver's side. Get good signals on both. Love that they are so discrete. Easy to install the mounts but I couldn't install the nmo connector on the coax. Finally bought cable with the connectors attached and was able to get it through the firewall.
