I'm looking for a good mobile antenna mount for my 2011 Taco. It does have tracks around the bed. Anything I have found seems to be iffy. |
Every knee in heaven and on earth and under the earth will bow to worship him. Everyone’s mouth will say that Jesus Christ is Lord.

| I have drilled hundreds of holes in automobiles for antennas in the past. I no longer work at a radio shop, but I sure have drilled plenty of holes in my own autos for antennas. I enjoy drilling holes in automobiles. I always enjoyed the looks on owners faces if they hung around to watch. |

Does it have stake pockets? Bend a piece of stainless, bolt it to the bottom of the pocket and mount the antenna to it. Run the cable into the cab through the cabin vent in the back wall of the cab (I'm assuming it has a vent there).
