    Tundra Friends,

    Does the 3rd gen Tundra have a grommet somewhere under the undercarriage of the 3rd gen turn to route a co-ax antenna cable into the cabin ? The second gens do have this. If not where is a good place to run an antenna cable into the 3rd gen tundra cabin. Would prefer not to cut the weather stripping through the back door. Thanks for your thoughts and help....Kid

    I had my back camera cable rerouted and I think there's a spot to run it outside under the back passenger seat... You willy have to pop open the plastic moldings under the passenger seat that hide the cables etc.

    Not sure if there are any other easier ways

    There's a drain plug/weather grommet almost directly under the driver's seat (plus a few more). You can route the cable through there.

    See the GMRS install post on my build thread to see if it helps: Duster's Double Cab - The Daily Do-It-All: GMRS Radio & Antenna Installation

    Since I've got a bed shell, the cable is pretty protected sitting between the cab and the shell. It runs down the back and I just used some cable clips to keep it from flapping around. I attached a few on the edge of the back window so I don't see the cable in my rearview mirror. Plus, if I need to remove them, they'll be easy to scrape off the glass.
