Need antenna tips

[otherbrotherdaryl]

I'm looking for ideas on where and how to mount an antenna (ham, 2-meter) on my Frontier in some way that isn't dorky or destructive. If you've done this, could you post how you did it here?

Here is a write up of how I have my antenna on my 2000 crew cab. Its not there now because I only use it when traveling cause I can't get in the garage with it on. I use my ht in town.

I have an ICOM 2M under the passenger front seat. It is "hard wired" to the battery by running the cables under the floor mat (not the carpet) though the door, angled up to the hood lid and over to the battery. I could never find a large enough hole in the fire wall to run it that way. Unlike when I had my 1986.5 Frontier.

Antenna wire runs under the seat, under the floor mat in back, under the back seat and goes out the slider window in back if I am not going to be locking up the truck anyway. If I am locking the truck, the antenna wire goes up the door post and out the top. I don't have people traffic going in and out of the back seat so as soon as it is set once it doesn't get messed with.

Sorry no pictures. Hope I described OK.

Am I right that you're using a mag mount ant? I was wondering if that was going to be my only practical alternative.
Your description was fine, BTW, and thanks for the reply!
