[QUOTE="Chris Crampton, post: 836716, member: 14917"] I just did this a little over a month ago. I pulled down the passenger side headliner and installed 2 NMO mounts. My truck does not have a sunroof so install is easier than if you have one. -I removed A, B, & C pillar plastic -Remove dome light and overhead console, coat hanger hooks, right sunvisor -Pulled back door seals all the way to the bottom -Depending where you mount your ant., I ran the 2 wires above the air side air bag to not impend deployment -I also used foil tape to secure wires to the roof bracing so it doesn't rattle -Drilled (2) ⅜" holes between the roof blisters on centerline of the truck -Snugged them down and finished running wires down B pillar to center console. Then reinstalled in reverse order. -This was about a 3 hr job but was happy with the result (Tip, if you have the ⅜ NMO mount you can fish it through an opening in the roof brace for the rearward mount) I'll post up some pics for you. Front hole location [ATTACH]61111.vB[/ATTACH] Rear hole location, fished mount up through hole on bottom side of roof brace [ATTACH]61112.vB[/ATTACH] Front pic before hole [ATTACH]61113.vB[/ATTACH] Ran wires over air bag, had to loosen bolts to sneak wires through [ATTACH]61114.vB[/ATTACH] Finished product. [ATTACH]61115.vB[/ATTACH] It was tough to get good pics during the install but hopefully you get the idea. I also have 2 rain caps that go on the NMO's when not in use or when the car cover is on it.
