Grounding Question
I want to add a ground wire to my antenna bracket. It is mounted on the bedrail of a pickup truck on top of the bed liner. Do I want to run a wire from the bracket to the frame then from the frame to the bed or would it be better to run a wire from the bracket to the bed, then from the bed to the frame?

i would make sure the antenna bracket has a good connection to the bed. Then make sure the bed has a good connection to the frame. After that, maybe make sure the cab has a good connection to the frame. That should cover it.
