Probably, they'll be stiffer, so more difficult to fish through, but there was quite a bit of room depending on where you put things. I don't see why not!
Yes!
Have you tried this?
Do these lip mounts cause and paint damage or marks if were to remove?I'm not sure what the permanent situation will be, but for now, I am working with this a trunk lip mount. I'm leaning toward running the feedline through one of the grommets under the floor, then following the frame to the front and mounting to the hood for long-term.
I have a trip next week and I was tired of using a HT for mobile comms.
Also, I'm going to have to remove this when it goes into the body shop to fix the transit damage, so wanted something temporary.
They have rubber backing on the outside part and a metal plate on the inside part, so generally, no, but if you're worried about it, there are other options.
Thanks, curious of what antenna you're using? I take it the hole is for a so-239 passthrough and use something like this https://www.dxengineering.com/parts/dxe-363-sst ?
Did you mount this against the body or on the outside of the spare tire mount? I put it on the outside, just removing two bolts and mounting so it's not against the paint, but it pressed against the spare tire like that. Really didn't want it flat against the paint on tailgate. Maybe do the wheel spacer like someone else did on one..
I vote YES
Anyone with these running a jumper / bonding from the bracket to the frame?
That’s good to know, I haven’t installed it yet. Which hood lip mount were you using? Looking to install my radio soon. I just moved and haven’t unpacked the shack and I miss being on the air.
Nothing fancy, just the nmo lip mount from midland I had laying around from a GMRS kit.
