What the BuiltRight Seat Back Storage Panel aims to do is provide a rigid mounting location for your most critical items. This may be the wiring for your CB radio system, or a flashlight, first aid kit and fire extinguisher. In any case, we’ll help keep your gear where you put it.

    I just picked up a 2016 F150 in excellent condition. The last thing I want to do is drill holes in the truck to install a traditional antenna mount for my HAM radio. I discovered this BulletProofDiesel mount after a little research and decided this is exactly what want. You did an excellent job showing how to install this. Thank you, great video!

    Did you ever put an SWR meter on the GMRS side? I also have a ham radio setup in my 2015 F150. Due to having an ATAS-120 on the front driver side quarter panel area and a dual band vertical on the front passenger side quarter panel I'm short on space for a GMRS antenna with good ground.

    Just installed my antenna mount today. Your video really helped with the installation on my 2024 Ford Maverick. The light connector was a bit different but still easy. Tomorrow its the radio installation. Should be easy as my battery is under the rear seats where my antenna wires are now placed.
    I noticed the cabling was manufactured by DX Engineering. I assume they partnered up with Bullet Proof Diesel. Impressive!
    Great job!
