Looks great! I did a similar install on a 2014 Tacoma, but the antenna was located at the rear passenger corner of the bed, using the 3 included bed rails as a ground plane. Worked great.

That’s awesome! I’m looking to add another antenna to the truck and have thought about that. I’ll probably make a video of it when we do it, hopefully this Spring. Thanks for your kind words and for watching! 73 de N8VOX

Very nice installation, where the antenna wire and the 2 wires pass for power, is there any possibility that a mouse or a snorer could pass, have you plug the air intake of this hole. 73,VE9MMR

It’s not big enough for a mouse to get through. It’s not air/water tight, but it wasn’t before we started either. It’s fairly snug with the electrical tape around the wires at the opening.

Very neat installation (what's Scott's contact info? Hi Hi). I did much the same on a 2009 Toyota Tacoma pick up, but used a Automatic Power Off (APO3) from APRS World, LLC to shut off power to my ICOM ID-5100 when the source voltage dropped below about 11.7 volts, if I recall correctly. I was afraid of acciedntly leaving the radio on when I shut the engine off, and killing my truck battery. It worked fine.

Thanks Dave! Yes, I’d like to get one of those things that you have to kill the radio when the ignition is off. Just gotta get around to doing it! And yes, Scott is indeed talented!

Looks good. Do you have any trouble on 2 meters? In my 2016 I loose receive when I turn the truck on. There is RF spraying all over under the hood and dash.

No problem at all here. I’m on the 2m repeaters in my area just fine. The only thing I can think of is grounding maybe. Seems like that’s always a suspect. I’ll bring up your scenario with some friends and see what they might say. Thanks for watching!
