I'd like to see how you get your antenna inside and where you mount it.
I thought about putting a 2m/70cm radio in but I'm not drilling a hole. I can't really find a place to mount the antenna. I really don't want to put the antenna up front but looks like that maybe my only option
Buddy has Ram truck and used a stake hole antenna mount but the Ranger doesn't have stake holes in the bed rail.:frown:
I did a brake light mount for my 2m ant. Dressed the coax around the rear window on the left side and held in place with BLK RTV. on the drivers side down low between the bed ad cab there is a gromme. At least on crew cab. Poked a hole in it a fished my coax thru. You’ll find it easy now that I narrowed down the search area. WA1AW

I wound up doing a lip mount and though the engine bay, came up on the drivers side by the brake pedal..

I didn't really consider that style. My radio body is behind the rear seat so entering the cab at the back was always planned.
