CB Cable Routing

Hi All,

Just curious as to what routes you all took to route your CB cables from the cab out to your exterior mount, and for what reasons.

I'm going to be installing mine soon and was wondering what my options are.

Cheers,

John

 

Good question sir. I'm sure this isn't a new question, so do a search in the audio and video section. Good luck with the install

 

I routed my current one out the firewall on the drivers side and then accords the engine compartment to the passenger side good mount.

Before this one I ran it to the hole under the passengers seat and then up to the same location

Now we have rock trolls on the board.

 

if you do the firewall, go through the grommet not around it. just get a wire and tape the cord to it and poke a hole to run the cable through

 

What's a rock troll?

 

Trololo is the name of a rock troll in The Witcher 3 video game. I thought that's what he was referring to.

 

Ah, I gotcha. I googled rock troll and that's all that came up, so I assumed it was some new term I just wasn't aware of yet.

 

cmon seriously.... trololol guy...

Don't have any pictures, but if you look under the truck where the driver's seat would be, there's a rubber grommet that you can run the cable thru. My mount is the BAMF CB mount next to the tailgate so I run the cable down the frame and up the inside of the bed.

Coax can be delicate so make sure you're careful with it and don't bend it too sharply. Normally you want 5x the diameter bend radius.
