    Does anyone know how tall the space is under the storage console between the front seats. Thinking about mounting the transceiver portion of my Yaesu 857D ham radio under there. It looks like I should be good for width and length.

    Not too much room ... cables running through it ... industrial looking.

    There are brackets that hold the console in there, not much space at all.

    If I'm not mistaken the DC to AC inverter for the AC outlet in the bed is under there.

    I haven't got the outlet in the bed. I'm hoping there is at least 6.25 inches wide and 2.5 inches tall.

    DC to AC converter, is that that is? Had my console apart running rear speaker wires (Access cab) and was wondering what that was.

    If you don't have the inverter you can probably fit it in there. The brackets/mounting for the inverter might work well for you.

    Does the radio have a fan in it? It'll get toasty in there, I bet. Luckily there's some venting for the inverter that will help. (The inverter has a fan)

    It does have a fan. I'll probably pull the console to see if it will fit. The other more likely option will be to put everything in the storage area behind the rear seat on the drivers side. I was hoping to find a better spot for the speaker, but I think that's where it's going as well.
