    Anyone know what is a good option for a passenger side rear antenna mount?


    Other than welding up a custom mount myself. Does anyone sell a good antenna mount for the Passenger side?

    Mount this at the corner. It’s dirt cheap. The holes are 1/2”. Just drill it bigger if you need them bigger.

    Do you have any pictures of how/where you'd mount this? Our bumper caps are plastic so there is no solid metal to mount something like this.
    Ideally if our bumpers were steel I would mount it to the side of the end of the bumper.

    There are mounts out there, CB right? It's be alright, I mean it's the worst place on the truck to mount it Propagation wise but shouldn't matter if it's just line of sight for a bunch of trucks.

    Oh, so you want to mount it onto your bumper? I was assuming somewhere in your bed using the rail. I don’t have it on my truck but I did help a friend install them on his truck

    Are you looking for something permanent or a temporary mount for communication?

    Just get a mirror mount and some t nuts inserts and put it on your bed rail.
    My rails are homemade from unistrut, but hopefully you get the idea:

    FYI with Rago - I've been waiting 4 months for high-lift jack brackets. Each month I email asking for an update. Last month the brackets were supposedly out for powder coat. I check again this month and apparently the brackets were sent without the knobs which are now being powder coated. I cannot wait and see what the reason is next month. :)
