I am assuming that your intention is to mount V/UHF antennas on the
vehicle.... Being fully mindfull of the limitations of V/UHF, and that its
used for local repeaters and not DX, a real simple and inexpensive solution
would be to go with a glass mount antenna.... the one I run on my Tundra is
a 2m/70cm dual band "cellular look-alike"($25.00 on Ebay) on the passenger
top corner of the windshield. No holes *ANYWHERE* for antenna mounting, and
works sufficiently well, even on low level machines in rural south
Mississippi.

I'm giving serious thought to buying a new vehicle and you know it's bad
when your first thought is not the mileage or seating capacity, but where
to plumb the radio! Does anyone manufacture an adjustable bracket that
will fit into or around the luggage rack frames? I can fabricate my own,
but not having a full-featured machine shop, it might not be as pretty as
my wife would like.
