NMO Antenna Mount Install - Toyota Tacoma

Quit making excuses and drill the hole!

[@gowheelin1]

Blue painters tape to cover working area. Also keeps paint from chipping. Kudos on your manhood. Some people have issues committing to drilling holes😂

[@TravelRadioTech]

Nice job with the install. Have you noticed any impact to your vehicle radio while transmitting due to the close proximity to the shark fin antenna?

[@n5yiz]

No ill effect whatsoever.

That’s a cute drill👸🏻

[@daltonkatiehall1888]

I used same exact mount, great quality. I’ve used same one for 3 vehicles and 1 is still in use today with over 6 years without an issue to my knowledge. Wish I would have videoed doing my last one a few months ago. Good job by the way. KK4LBX

Yeah, it's what I found in my parts box. I'll probably never use that high frequency function, but it does seem to have a little better coax.

[@daltonkatiehall1888]

@@n5yiz same here, I’ll never use it for that high of frequency but I like the dual shielded coax and type of metals it made from compared to solid brass.

What antenna did you use and will it work on any cb radio??

[@n5yiz]

The antenna in the video is a Tram 1115-B. I don't think there are many options for NMO mountable CB antennas. The Larsen NMO27 will work for CB use, but you need to check you bandwidth requirements.

Which UHF antenna is that?

[@n5yiz]

It's just a UHF quarter wave.
