I decided to see if I could install a CB in a 2001 SR5 without touching the drill. I used the trailer hitch support bolt to hold the antenna bracket and ran the coax through the tail lite and the existing grommet to get it inside. I ran ground and hot from the batter to a remote fuse block on the right side. I then ran the wires inside through the power antenna grommet. Once inside I tried something different. I mounted the bracket on the back side of the console (on the back seat transmission hump). I used double sides tape to hold the bracket to the console right below the ashtray. I can always go back and move it to the fron ashtray position and then do some cutting to make it fit but it was interesting to see that you could do a CB install without cutting holes

 

yeah i have no window on my rail rig so on the back trailer hitch the anntenna then in the no window up to the front..grabbed 12 volt from my non stereo that is no longer there and a ground...

im trying to figure out the best place to drill a hole and perm mount it!
