for all you guys who have the antenna mounted on your bed, where did you run the wire into the cab at? I have a whip so i just need a mount and cable, and i just got a handheld cb that the power source plugs into the cig lighter and it has a spot for an ext antenna which i think would work way better than the damn magnetic antenna my dad "hooked me up with"

 

i have a roof mount, but there is a drain hole in the back of a supercab under the jumpseat, if you search i remember seeing a thread with pics.

 

I used a grommet in driver side jump seat compartment. Just poked through it and ran the coax under the floor to the dash.

 

drivers eh that would work perfect cause my sub box is blocking access to the pass side ... so i can run it out of there an up thru the gap between the cab and bed?

 

passanger and driver there is a drain plug about the size of the coax pull it and SLIT it and run the coax out the hole and drain plug around the coax to seal it.. silicone if needed thats how i did mine and a few others..

 

Where exactly are you planning on mounting the antenna?

 

i was gonna put the antenna in the front of the bed right behind the back window unless you guys think its a bad idea cause i see a lot of yall have it all the way in the back

 

Naw, you can probably run it up through the stake pocket there to look cleaner. Just run it along the frame rail to it.

 

Firestik has a stake hole mount thats not the "cap" style it looks good here...

 

So what kind of antenna is it? I have talked to some cb gurus and the higher you can mount it the better. If it is like a magnet mount which I dont think your is, the roof is the best. I was told that the cab can sometimes screw with it alittle. Had that problem on my F150. Had to stick antennas mounted on the front corners of the bed. Then I bought the Wilson wip kind.
