I would like to mount my dual whip cb antennas on my truck but havin trouble findin a place to mount them. I would like to mount them in the bed not bumper because i like how that looks but i have a tonneau cover and dont wanna remove it. Does anyone have any suggestions/pics that could help me out?

i dont have any pictures put depending on the size of the spring your running for the antenna you could mount them between the bed and the cab. Thats where i mounted my rigid antenna. and then the CB itself i mounted in the cab on the knee panel between the steering wheel and the pop out cup holders and wired it into the cigarette lighter. I did it this way because i wanted it to have constant power so i could use it even with the truck not running. I can get you pictures of how i installed my cb if you would like.

if you could post pics of the antenna mouting id appreciate that. but my truck has the center console, so i was prob gonna mount it on the pass side of it or the little flip out compartment under where the cigarette lighter is, just cut that out and mount it there. then i would wire it to a fuse using a fuse tap to the radio, that what i did on my 99 so i could use it when not running also just the key half turned

yall i will go take some pictures and post them for you so you can see how i did mine. unfortunately i broke my antenna the other week and havent gotten around to replacing it so the mount is still there but the antenna isn't.

So mine was mounted in the bed of my truck but if you have the tie down points on the rails of the bed i have seen people mount them in there...

and then i mounted mine on the knee panel

all the wiring is ran through the little cubbie and stuff...since u have the full center console you may have to runs your a little differently... but i also took pictures of how i wired it into the cigarette lighter.

and then finally i pulled the face plate around the radio down so i could get to the back of the cigarette lighter
