They sell these!

 

What kind of mount setup is shown in the last picture of your Ham install up by the rearview mirror? Looks like and iPad or something. How is it mounted and what is it actually?

 

I definitely remember seeing a post about one mounted where you are saying. Can't remember when or what thread though. I've also seen a post about a second battery installed over in the corner by the passenger side firewall. Maybe you could mount it there too.

I know too that for those that do the train horn mods the will mount the compressor under the bed forward of the rear tires. They don't have to be right side up. Maybe figure out a way to mount it inside a waterproof plastic ammo box, with holes drilled and grommets for the wiring and hoses?

 

Looks really clean - is that a stock grommet that you drilled for the co axial cable ?

 

Thanks for the replies. I am going to look at this today.

There is room under the hood, and it is relatively protected from the elements.

I am more concerned about the bouncing around, and not wanting to stress any of the fixtures already there. The plate under the battery looks promising, but I want to be able to remove the compressor for maintenance, etc.

My last truck was a magnet for nails and screws in the tires. Lucky so far with this truck- only one in 20 months, but I want to be able to make quick repairs when it happens.

Will post something when I get it worked out.

 

This was one that may help or someone on the thread can help..

Installed Sylvaina ZEVO Fog LEDS 6K ......$100 bucks

 

LED bulbs are always brighter. Post some feedback after some night driving. Most interested in how far lights project and if beam is focused or scattered. Have tried a couple of LED bulbs in fog housings but none match the throw distance and driveability of night driving. For example I have driven 3 hours late night on the interstate with only DRL and stock fog bulbs. Have not yet found a replacement LED bulb that provides equal night vision with DRL and fog lights only.

 

Been able to test them at night yet. I like the way they match the DRL color better.

 

High tones and bass made a crazy difference, it makes it well worth the money. Over all loadness is higher, I wouldn’t say a crazy amount higher, but a lot cleaner/crisp when you have to set at max.

 

I have been very hesitant to do this do to lots of negatives on the light output of the Fogs not being that great across the spectrum of brands. I will get some pics tonight and see what happens....

 

I just put them in this morning.....

 

I like this idea. How'd it come out? Pictures? Was it difficult to tape around the bumper to make sure you didn't get any where you didn't want it?

 

Installed mx4. So far can’t complain.

 

It is - located under the driver seat.

 

I am glad to hear that! The factory stereo/speakers are the only thing I dislike about the truck.

 

I hardwired my GPS, which is attached to a RAM mount.

 

Might record another today. If so will post it. IMO it sounds great. Better after 4 months use.

 

There is nothing wrong with the entune premium non-JBL unit. The only problem is with the lame stock speakers. Add the 6 Kickers like I, and so many others, did and your stock head unit will come to life.

 

It was easy and boy it looks so good. Wish I did it sooner!
