Ok, I've done this on every truck,

I'm trying to run antennae cable to the cab, is there any other easy way besides what appears to be through the firewall where there is a big grommet with a nipple that can be cut. I saw this in an other post but it wasn't a '15.

Next, is that the correct spot and method, in the firewall?

I'd like it to be big enough to pass the PL259 connector.

Thanks!

 

Where are you running it from I'm guessing fender mount? Just cut the pl259 off and solder a new one back on. You could also desolder and then resolder.

There are also grates behind the rear seats you can possibly get an entire pl259 through

 

Got it! Found a grommet under the rear seat passenger side, SCab -under the inverter. It's a pricey antennae, (didn't want to cut the connector) for amateur use. The connector fit right through.

Had to remove the inverter tray, no prob!

 

What brand of antenna, how are you mounting it and whats it for? Trying to mount some antennas for 2 meter and CB radio. Thanks

My 2010 SCAB model has the two smaller doors that open to the front. I needed to add a 2m/440ANTENNA on each side of the truck. I got the door edge mount and ran the cable down the inside of the door weatherstrip rubber. When I got down to where the hinges were I was able to cross over on the inside of the weather seals and eventually down to the bottom foot tray where I could run the RG CABLE anywhere I needed on the inside.

My main radios are all mounted under the rear seat area of my SCAB where I ran a large 4AW cable from the truck start battery terminals. This line is fused under the hood before it goes thru one of those cut nipple you were talking about and then follows the foot tray on the floor next to the door. I feed a BLUE SEA fused 8-position 12VDC SUB PANEL mounted under the rear seat area.

Here my two ham radios are connected to 12VDC from the sub panel. This provides #10 ring terminals where I can connect the radios 12VDC power leads to...

Each of these ham radios all have remote heads which are mounted on my center console where it just meets the vertical part of the instrument and AM/FM radio panels. I have a 2m/440 controls head here with my ICOM IC-706MKII remote head on the top. My two microphones are hanging on the driver side of the center console. I have two of those real good sounding KENWOOD ROUND LES-5 speakers mounted in the glove box area of the drivers door. All the ham radio noise is on my side of the truck and seems to be less bothersome for the wife...

I have two 2m/440 Antennas mounted on each rear door edge and a TARHEEL LIL TRAHEEL Screwdriver antenna mounted on the truck bed wall about a foot behind the rear window side of the truck on the driver side. One of the 2m/440 antennas feeds the 3m/440 rig and the other 2m/440 antenna feed the vhf/uhf connector on the IC-706.

All works out great for me with this setup.

I also use alot of Internet Radio BROADCASITY.com for monitoring all of the POLICE and FIRE/RESCUE I need to be listening to coming through my cell phone remote amplified speaker I mounted on the front dash console.

Since all of the Police went to digital radios I don't get to use my ham radio units to monitor public service anymore. Internet radio is great as I can keep in touch with my home town POLICE-FIRE-RESCUE no matter where we are at...

All worked pretty clean in my setup.

I am looking to run a cable to the box and looking for a place to run it. There is a large knock out in the box and should be one in the same place to the cab. Can't see it behind the rear seat but can feel some honeycomb type holes just near this location on the passenger side. I want to install a control cable for my Tarheel 200 and antenna cable.
