Where to route CB coax?

[OCarney]

I am going to mount my dual antennas in the front corners of the bed. Is there a place to run the coax without drilling? Truck is a 04. 5 dually. The guy at the local CB shop advised me to look under the truck for any rubber plug to route it through. If you have a CB, where did you route yours? Thanks in advance.

I have the same mounting, front corners of the bed, using the firestick mounts that hang over the rails. I ran the wires from the antennas through the stake holes out the bottom, then along the frame to the cab, where I found a metal, not rubber, cover that could be pushed out. It had ears that you bend to clear the hole, then the plug pushes up into the storage bin under the rear seat. I just routed it from there to the center console for now. Pull the carpet in the storage area up and put it back after you get the wires through.

I have a single antenna right in the middle of my roof, and I drilled through the roof directly above the cab dome light.



Sorry I can't be of more help, as you are doing a bit different setup than I have.



However, I did have a cell phone antenna mounted on my lumber rack for a few months, and what I did there was pull up the 4x4 shifter boot, and drill a 1/4" or maybe it was a 5/16" hole through the floor of the truck for that coax...
