    So I didn't see the RCI one on their site. If I were to do it again I would go 4x because 1/4" vs 3/16 and I have destroyed my 3/16. But 3/16 should be good enough for most people.

    what are the benefits?

    If anyone finds this I would love to see it. As stated, my double din is not usable during the day due to reflections of the passenger seat.

    I agree with this. I already have the 4XInnovations skids and I don't worry about them on the trail. No exposed bolt heads either on the front plate.

    Shouldve worded that differently. Buy whatever brand sells your desired thickness at a cheaper shipping cost.

    Apparently the fuse was bad and just looked good. Tried a different one and they work again. Oops

    The benefit of moving the stereo position up and at a slight angle is glare won’t be much of an issue anymore.
