^Ok. That plan failed. Epicly.

Anyone have any antenna mounts where they did not drill into the xterra? I really don't want to drill but with a second antenna off the window...it just looks stupid lol. I was looking at trunk lip mounts that attach to the trunk hatch but I'm not sure what will fit and what wont between the xterra body.

Might go with this but it's pricy and I just don't know http://www.diamondantenna.net/k412c.html

I had to drill a couple of small holes to mount the plate that I put the antenna nut on and wallow out the cowl a bit because it comes up a little differently but I like it

I have a splitter so the antenna can be used for both the CB and Radio but because I have the rockford system (put a different head unit in though) the factory amp is somehow picking up the CB signal with the splitter connected. It's kinda technical how it works and what is happening to mine, I can go into detail if you want to go this path.

Go ahead and drill once you make the first cut/hole on the X you stop worrying about it so much. I'm the point now that I'm just like this piece of metal is in the way and now there is a hole in it i can use.

That's what I'm afraid of lol. I'm so worried about rust. Besides I don't have a drill. I live in an apartment...I really don't have any tools haha.

I have a mount that is mounted to my dephep with zero drilling.

Do you have a link or a pic Mac? Perhaps I could do that.

Thanks man, I stopped when my drill literally started smoking. It's on it's way out, but I don't have to push it over the ledge.

Here's the mount Xoskel setup for me, we measured it to fit the dephep perfectly.

I pulled that straight from my build.
