    For those of you who installed a CB antenna back by the tailgate where did you route your Coax cable into the cab at?

    I ran my pop a lock cable through the passenger side grommet under the truck. There are a few grommets on each side underneath that get you into the cab.

    I ran an air line from the bed to inside the cab. There are two slots on the rear wall of the cab behind the plastice storage compartments behind the rear seats. They both have plastic flaps that work as a weather seal I suppose.
    I'm sure someone will probably tell its not the intended use for that area but it worked for my need.

    Thinking about doing the same thing. How did you put back the rubber piece as there would be a small lip from running the cable through. I was thinking silicone to go around the rubber gasket? Any pics would be helpful. Thanks.

    I see one way is by the engine where there is a open space but Im worried about the heat interfering? How did you run yours? Any pics would be helpful

    Get some weather sealant at home depot. Just make a small slit in the rubber piece of the truck. Just enough to feed the cord through then seal it on both sides if possible with weather proof sealant. Works perfect.
