I'm about to install a weBoost Drive OTR system in the truck and I (ideally) will be mounting the exterior antenna on the headache rack of my CM SK bed. In order to do this, I'm hoping to find a place in the rear of the cab to pass the antenna cable through. Has anyone done this before, or can point me to a good location to run the antenna cable through? Thanks in advance!

I've run antenna cables through the drain plugs in the floorpan under the carpet or vinyl

fgbm,

I am also planning to install the WeBoost Reach OTR. Ive read lots of reviews and watched lots of videos on it and it seems to do a great job at what it was designed to do.

Where are you planning to mount the INTERIOR antenna? I was thinking that I would velcro mine into the small cargo trey that is in the dashboard at the top of the center radio stack. I have phone mounts on either side of that, so the phones would always be within about 6" of the WeBoost INTERIOR antenna.

I look forward to following your progress and hearing you impressions. Its hard to believe that there are no other WeBoost posts in this forum.

Happy Trails.

I mounted it to my b-pillar to make it easy. Traditionally, this is where they go. However, like you, my phone is in the center console area, high up (it's on a mount in that tray). I may move the antenna there, but the antenna should be sufficient to impact your reception as long as it's place anywhere in the vehicle. FWIW, I work on cellular systems as my day job.
