Just thought I’d put this here as I just finished installing my MXT275 and ran the antenna differently than I’ve seen others, utilizing my @TrailRax roof rack. Interior install is similar to what I’ve seen on the blog. Ran power to my switch panel because I had a buttons to spare and didn’t...
Yep, I used that video for my light bar install. Thanks for finding it, as it might help OP in his journey to run an antenna. Wondering if any of the other wiring running up the driver side a-pillar would cause interference to an antenna?
Have you figured this out yet? I have a trailrax roof rack and was thinking of running the antenna wire up my a-pillar and through the front gasket on the drivers side, then mount to my rack. I did this for my light bar on the passenger side. No issues with water.
Works great! Here’s a pic of us at the lake. Passenger side would allow maybe a bit more cover, but then you’d have to walk around tailgate to get under the rest. Since you have a limiter, it will probably be perfect
Truth be told, I haven’t needed to or used the rack yet, other than mounting an awning, which is awesome. Heretic light is awesome and did have a chance to use that this past weekend for some evening wheeling. Anxious to get my kayak on it. Overall, like it!
Check out @GoatFab rockslides. Super clean, sturdy and has step.
a lot of tailgate tables that don’t require drilling.
OVS has some nice canvas tool wraps:

Great looking ride
Another reason I love this community! Appreciate the response. I’ve got rods that range from 6-7 feet. Understand the concerns. I’m envisioning hands mounted toward the front something as simple as lashing points and foam padding so it can be some what universal. Some rods may stick out a...
Love the idea of this thread and would like to also give some wish list ideas to the vendors that support the B6G forum:
@TrailRax : fishing rod holders that mount on the underside of the crossbars. Great use of space while still keeping the top surface completely useable, and allowing the...
Went with 1/4 x 1” carriage
instead of supplied. The pan head of the carriage bolts is a little too big for the slot on the awning, but 1/4 inch regular bolts were barely big enough and I wanted more surface area in the track of the awning. So I used the carriage bolts and used my grinding...
