I use Velcro.

How can I run Power and antennas out of vehicle to battery, antenna
mounts etc.?


Answer: In my old Ranger [1985] just below the driver side left hip
under the floor mat is a 3/4 inch drain hole with a grommet as a plug. I
released the aluminum cover from the door/mat area and lifted the mat.
Sure enough the plug was there!! I clipped out a 3/8 diameter section
from the center of the grommet and sliced one end open. After running
the necessary wires through the grommet it was reinstalled and sealed
with Coax-Seal [$3.00 at HRO]. There was no need to punch holes,
drill holes, etc.



Same with my 2000 Ranger. There are 1" holes under the floor mats on
both the driver and passenger side near the seat fronts. You can
easily find their locations by crawling under the vehicle. Remove the
grommets (or cut a hole in them) and then the path from the rig to the
battery and antenna is easy.
