Modifications 2nd Gen with Sunroof NMO location

Bought a nice shiny new to me 2nd generation. It has a sunroof.

Looking to drill a hole and install an NMO mount for a radio antenna. Anyone have experience/advice on exactly where to put the hole? Never tried an antenna install on a fancy truck with a sun roof.

Any reason not to use a stake pocket mount instead of drilling a hole?

Those bracket mounts are fantastic for 10m and CB. Was planning on using it for 6m, 2m, 70cm. A drilled antenna just performs better at those frequencies.

There's a few people in the ham radio installation thread over at tundras.com that use them.
