    Amateur Radio (ham) install

    Drill an NMO into the roof. It's the best way to go and you can quickly remove it if you need to. A 1/4 wave whip works well there and will not rip off if you hit anything with it. I have a page with pictures of my radio install here...

    What fits behind the fold-down rear seats?

    There's a ton of room back there. I was able to get 3 radios and power distribution back there. https://wiki.w9cr.net/index.php/2020_Ram_1500_Radio_Install#Rear_Area

    Where to lead antenna wire?

    Drill a 3/4" hole on the rear roof and install and NMO mount. You can run the wires under the headliner and into the front or back. Having the antenna up high at 6' off the ground will make a world of difference.

    How drop the headliner?

    Yes, I think so. I want to put two holes in the roof behind the sunroof and inline on either side of the FM/GPS/LTE antenna. Before doing this, I want to be sure there's nothing in the way that precludes installing them. Do you know where I can find instructions on dropping this and...

    How drop the headliner?

    Greetings, I'm the new owner of a 2020 Ram 1500 and it has the sunroof in it. I'm looking for anyone who has interior pictures of the rear of the ceiling under the headliner. My intent is to figure out how to drop the headliner and drill a couple holes for some antennas. I've worked out...
