well i opened the door and backed-up and heard sloshing... drove down the road thinking nothing, until i listenesd more. I got out and saw about 3 inches of water in the cargo area in my Husky liner. Also the carpet was/is SOAKED!!! i have been drying it out via fans, but not going so great. i had to cut it out at the little parts where it's hooked in via those "attach points" that do nothing. so yeah that sucks! |

my stupid CB coax that i ran through the glass and door seal... i thought it was okay, so now i still have no way of getting the coax inside the cab, while still having my antenna on the roof rack. (no drilling) |

I ran mine under a door seal and haven't had any problems so far. But it's a thin coax cable so it bent around pretty easy. |

How's about using the rubber boot on the left side of the rear door jamb where the factory harness goes into the truck. You really do not wnt to kink the coax much at all. I ran mine thru there and behind the interior plastic, though I put my coax thru the rear door behind the spare using a rubber grommet and sealing it with silicone (I know, you said no drilling). |

I have not heard anything good about the performance of that style antenna. Not sure you will be pleased with that option. You really need to tune it for your SWA level for longevity and performance of your radio. |

Seems how you have a light bar, why dont you take the cover off and snake the coax down though the 2" grommet and down into your cab? You can snake it down the driver side A pillar and into your dash. No need to drill any holes because there is like 9 of them on your roof from the light bar. And NO MORE LEAKING! (WELL MAKE SURE YOU USE RVT WHEN YOU RUN THE WIRE TO PREVENT ANY LEAKING) |
