Hi All,
New to this Forum.
Looking for Suggestions for NMO Antenna mounts for my 1997 Explorer... Have seen the hood mounts and want the antenna behind me, and also don't want to cut any holes.
Thanks in advance,
Dave

Hi Dave,
I have a Larson magmount on my '94 EB. It sits on top in back near the rear hatch(I didn't want to cut any holes either). I ran the wire down the side of the hatch and then along and behind the the interior side plastic. I have a TM-733A Dual Bander hooked up under the Ashtray. Works fine for me. My buddy does HF/VHF/UHF (and whatever else he can fit in his XLT (looks like a mobile antenna farm)). The VHF/UHF antennas he drilled a hole for but the HF antenna is on a swivel mount attached to his trailer ball hole.
