    Mounted up my Yaesu UHF/VHF radio head unit to the trim above the windshield using some Ram Mount products. The Yaesu HU uses M5 threads, which is apparently kind of a weird size, so there's no direct fit stuff from Ram Mount. This little online shop called Hudd Expo (they do Land Cruiser stuff) thankfully sells an M5 Ram Mount adaptor kit, sweet!

    Tucked the wires up for the sPod SE head unit that will also share real estate above the mirror, but a little closer to the driver.

    Yaesu HU control cable, and sPod control cable wrapped together for their run up the passenger a-pillar, and behind the upper headliner trim.


    Yaesu HU


    Hudd Expo Ram adaptor, with ram arm.


    Ram ball mounted to headliner trim. Super convenient that it's made of steel...


    View from driver's seat, more or less.


    Yaesu HU has convenient cable management built into the back side. No need for zip ties or anything.


    Tucks up into the space pretty nicely.

    Any updates? The polished wheels look great.

    I realize this is an old thread. Hopefully someone will read it and respond.
    Let me start off and say the Bronco looks good.
    I have a 85 F150 4x4 that I’m building and I am interested in the Desolate Motorsports stage 1.5 kit, like the one that you had installed. Can you tell me your thoughts on the kit? Is it a good quality kit for highway driving and for mild off roading? My truck is being built mainly for like an overlander rig and I don’t want a lot of lift, just enough to clear some 33-35’s and with good suspension travel.
    So if you don’t mind, could you provide me your thoughts on running this kit? Thanks in advance. Have a blessed day.
