    What ways are there to routing the CB antenna cable from the bed into the cabin?
    Search I couldn’t fine anything.

    Here’s how the gromet looks as mentioned in the thread I posted above. I cut a little “pizza” slice out of it for my Coax to enter into the truck, as seen in my picture.

    I routed the cable inside the bed, above the bedside rail system. Looks really clean because I have a retractable tonneau that has rails above that as well.

    You need to remove this black plastic trim piece to get under the carpet in the backseat and then fish the cable out with your hands.

    I then pushed my cable out here at the base of the driver side chair and routed to where I needed it.

    I used a homemade bracket for my 2m/440 ham antenna and routed the coax down the crack between the tailgate and the body. There was a small hole there that I could fit the cable and the reapplied connector through.

    Then I snaked it over the frame and cut a slit in the grommet/plug under the rear passenger floor behind the driver. Worked pretty well. Used cable ties to secure it underneath.

    That’s where I brought mine into the cab, I just made an X cut in the middle of the plug and ran with it. Not the prettiest but it doesn’t leak!
