Finally got the antenna installed today on the Tundra. I'm installing a radioditty DB-50b (I like it mostly for having such a small footprint).

I'm installing a secondary 100Ah lifepo4 battery under the rear seat (after removing foam and installing winco steam pans).

A renogy dc-dc charger will keep the battery topped off. The radio will run off the lifepo4 battery with plans for future expansion and running power into the truck bed for running the portable fridge and portable radios for HF

So... There is not enough clearance under the rear seat for the battery I got... There is if I take out the sound dampening batting, but then the seat sits on the battery (I suspect you would feel it when going over a bump). So I have changed tactics, and it actually saves me some storage space.

The battery will go behind the rear seat (there seams to be just enough clearance). I just have to remove the rear seat to access it. This also places it nearer to the dc-dc charger which is good.
