Hello, I keep seeing that a good place is the tire rack. I have the http://www.firestik.com/Catalog/SS-174.htm SS174 mount...but where on the tire bracket does this go? Do I need to remove the tire so the antenna sticks up behind the tire?

-will

 

You will need to remove the spare to install that mount, good choice by the way, but once installed you can run a fire stick or similiar antenna. You might consider using a quick disconnect so you can remove the antenna when not needed.

 

Will I have to drill new holes?

 

That will be up to you, but for a clean installation you will need to run a line thru the outer door panel, then past the hinges and thru the truck to where ever you are planning to locate your radio.

 

I ran it to the hood mount. Looks cool that way to me...ran the cable into a grommet just above where the cruise vacuum comes in.
