[QUOTE="HoLeChit, post: 3564672, member: 35036"] I'm just down the street if you want to swing by and look at mine/get a hand, or I can swing by the office. I mounted it onto my tool box, but I definitely could have mounted it onto the bed rail. I try to keep it mounted with enough height for the top bulb to be just above the cab for more omnidirectional reception. I ran my cable from the receiving antenna between the bed into the cab through one of the flapper air vents on the back of the cab wall, in the past on other vehicles I have drilled a hole and used a grommet. That just depends on your concerns for water intrusion and drilling permanent holes in the cab. I stuck the amplifier behind the seat where it isn't going to be hit or have things on top of it, it can get hot, so keep that in mind. I ended up sticking the broadcast antenna onto the bottom of my rear seat with the velcro, but optimally I would run it up so somewhere around your center console. plug the 12v power into your outlet of choice and you're good to go. If youre going to keep the truck a while I would just go about cable management as if you were installing a sound system. Zip ties and sticky zip tie bases are generally pretty good, but so is running the cables under carpet, plastic panelling, or even your floor mats. I would definitely check the lights on the amplifier to make sure you don't have issues or any sort of interference, that can be a real pain.
