    a few question about this. i tried to hide the coax as best as possible from my antenna into the cab into my CB

    Step 1: mount your antenna and connect your CB coax to it.

    Step 2: theres two rubber plugs on each side of the bed, i took off the passenger side plug. Mine was also covered in bedliner which made it more difficult...

    Step 3: inside the cab theres floor molding...TAKE IT OFF!(also a great way to run sub wires)

    Step 4: towards the very back, underneath the corner piece you'll find a rubber gromet...TAKE IT OFF!

    Step 5: Run your cable out the rubber plug hole, down the cab and into the hole into the cab. if your truly OCD about wires hanging down...ZIP TIE IT! and luckily the hole going into the cab is just the right size for your standard 3/8" CB coax.

    Step 6: Run your cable underneath the gold pinch clips all the way to the front.

    Step 7: Take this corner piece off and run your cable underneath it.

    Step 8: take this guy off and pull your cable up through the dash.

    Step 9: run your cable between the windshield and the dash(depending on where your CB is mounted).

    Since i have my CB mounted on the tray on top of the dash of course theres no where else for my wires to go so yes they're going to be showing. if you have your CB mounted in another spot then continue going under the dash to your CB.
