Did you drill through your body to mount the L bracket or were there existing holes you used? If you drilled through the body what kind of drill bit did you use? Anything special?
I love your install, just concerned I don't have the right tools to correctly mount the L bracket like that at the moment.
Edited - I'm a dork. My drill worked fine. =)

Ok, so I only have this crappy cell phone pic. But it shows where the L bracket is mounted and where I ran the antenna cable into the cab. I did have a couple of minor issues with the bracket. One, the 3/4" hole was just a tad too small for the antenna. Spent a couple of minutes widening it with a dremel. Not a big deal there. And secondly, I had to space the bracket slightly away from the body so that there was enough room to screw the antenna on without it contacting the cowl piece. Don't pay attention to the little wrench in the pic. I was just testing how much space I needed. But you can just use some washers.
BTW, I should just mention that the L bracket, antenna, and cabling that I'm using don't come with the MXT275. I purchased all 3 of those on Amazon. You get a magnetic antenna/cable with the unit. I initially used that and had it mounted to my metal ditch light bracket and it worked well.
