    I just got a new Canopy installed. ARE Overlander with full bed rug. Looks boss. (photos pending) I want to install a Rago tailgate CB antenna mount. I'm looking for ideas for how to wire the antenna through to the cab now that the canopy is there.

    I dont think I have to drill....do I have to drill? Please tell me I dont have to drill!!!

    Anyone got ideas for how to wire this from the inside of the bed to the cab? Can I go through a drainage hole?

    Get a CB coaxial cable with the unscrewable end that takes the big 3/4" AN connector to a 1/4" and then like you said find a drainage plug or drill a hole use a grommet and silicone/FIPG.
