    Take an old garage door opener and removed the metal piece for the visor. Bend that to an L and it'll slide into the headliner. Attach the gauge to the other side. Then tuck the cable into the headliner over to the a pillar and down.

    I mounted my Ultra-Guage to the left side of my mirror and the wire length was fine.

    Works great. Sometime you have to unplug and plug back in to connect using ODB Fusion App.

    Edit: I guess it does use Bluetooth with my Iphone but I can still stream music and answer calls.

    Just put them on a couple months ago. I doubt I will have any issues with the place I go to.

    Good luck, let us know how it went or more importantly how much beer it took.

    You will be astonished at how much these help. I installed TC bed stiffeners two years ago and it was the best decision I've made to date.

    This is what I have heard as well. Good luck with it as I am on the same quest.

    Sadly, not much.
    Besides keeping bed straight - what other benefits did you notice? I have been considering, but then I would have to modify my draw/bed platform system...

    Lateral stiffness was the biggest improvement. I have an alu-cab canopy and james baroud rtt up above and between the canopy and stiffeners the rigidity is 10 fold what it used to be. I look for longevity wherever I can.

    Very helpful! I have a leer canopy, and often load canoes, rocket boxes full of camping gear, etc.
    I think I will add.

    Took the canopy off to do some yard debris "dump" trips. Definitely makes for a more zippy, bouncy, fun ride. I love how much more I can see without all the glass of the canopy...
