Yes this is the ideal case. Unfortunately, that isn't always practical especially when you have multiple antennae or you simply don't want to cut a hole in the roof (or use a mag mount). :)

I did not remove the rear passenger wheel, though I could see how that'd make it easier. But yes, you'll need access underneath the cover. You could take the whole thing off - I didn't. I just removed a few of the clips which gave me enough room to pull the coax down and feed it into the cab.

Yeah it took me a little while to figure it out also. On the passenger side, right down in the corner behind the back seat, there is a little rubber grommet you can poke the cable through. To get at it, you will probably need to pop some of the fender pins out. I fed the cable along the bed and...

Very nice install. If only I had the skills to fabricate something like that -it's an ideal place for the body of a radio. Here's a few of mine (it's a constant work-in-progress) I am running an Alinco DR-735T dual bander, hooked up to a Comet SBB5. The difference is I chose to (for now)...

Thanks for the reply. I'll give them a call. :)
