Coax Path

[nofeartruckin00]

I have '91 Jimmy with a cobra 18wxst on my console and a 5foot wilson fiberglass on the bumper and wanted to know if there is any good place to run the coax out the rear of the truck. i had 2 wilsons on the mirrors, but i smack way too much stuff with them and decided to go to the rear bumper. I was thinking about cutting a hole in the rear pillar and somehow getting the coax through the tailgate??? Another quick question, would i be better off, now that im only running one whip, to get a 102" steel, or keep the 5 foot fiberglass. Thanks alot.

Mud, the ultimate paint job

i just run mine straight out the back, then out the tailgate, then behind the bumper, never had a problem

Have you thought about running it under the truck then up through the fire wall.? Remember to keep it at 18 feet and then increase in increments of 3 feet if you need to lengthen it to keep you wave length straight and so you can get a decent SWR.
If you are going to run an ant. off your bumper you need a bit longer one than 5' so you can get a plane. Ideally you want the load to be just above your roofline. An ant. like a wilson 2000 that has a coil and a stainless wip on the end is easy to tune and you can get different length mainshafts to put the coil at roof line for the best transmission and reception.
