    I need some help guys. I've searched on the forum and can't find any info on how to intall CB in a 2nd Gen. I plan on running a BAMF CB mount and I plan on using one of the smaller radios that will fit in the small storage area behind the cup holders (2015 model). Does anyone know the best way to run the antenna wire from the mount to inside the cab? Thanks, Clay

    If you remove the storage under the read seats, there should be rubber grommets into the cab. That's how I have my bed LEDs and the CB firewire routed.

    Welcome to T.W

    As above there are rubber gromets you can customize to meet your needs under the truck. They are under the front seat locations and you dont need to take off the seat to get wires thru. But disco. The battery because there are all kinds of airbag shit under the seats. And people have set them off before doing stuff under there. Hope that helps your mod.
    Good luck.

    Ill take some pic when i take lunch. Hopefully they will help. For that question. from the center console I went underneath it went out the side of it and the driver side I went in between the center console in the seat and ran the CB wire underneath the carpet flap, this opens up underneath the seat like we're the air conditioning duct comes out from underneath there I went down to the ground black grommet and pierce through it

    How adventurous do you want to be with wiring to get the radio in the front pocket?

    This is my setup.
