Here's more pictures... as promised. COAX is about 4 feet short so I'm waiting to find a longer one to mount the cb. I used sheet metal screws to attach the mounts, then had to drill through the bedliner and those plugs in the bed to run my coax.

your going to need to ground you antenna mounts to get the best signal in and out. You should also run your coax differently. I ran mine along the chassis. Othan than that, it looks good!
