Dashtop Single Mount and DSM Kits

I dedicate this video to @JaCado

I tried the "hand holding" method and drilling at the same time...needless to say I have 1 hold that is offset ...I ended up having to use a clamp.

 

My ninja grip comes handy at times.

Don't tell OSHA

 

Luckily I also started with the middle hole, so it isn't noticeable that I f'd it up lol

 

Installed

 

Do you know the thread size of the hole for the ball?

Will the 1” ram ball fit into that hole?

Thanks!

 

I am wondering the same thing about the Ram ball?

 

Jay, your dash, did it come white like that? Mines silver I would love white to match my taco.

 

I believe the bit I used was a 3/16

 

I painted it white with the duplocolor super white I got from pep boys. It was a Nissan color. Need to pop the dash trim and vents off then unscrew the 10 or so screws that hold that silver bezel on and then remove it from the vent piece via the tabs.

 

Nice thank you sir!

 

You get a chance and think of it you mind sending a better pic so I can see what it looks like a little better?

 

Thanks JaCado,
Actually I was wondering about the thread size in the middle. To see if the ram ball I already have would thread into that bracket. @FreshMexicanTaco ?

 

Was the same for all 3 holes

 

Cool Idea

 

loving the DSM. less than 5 minutes to install.

 

Thanks to @FreshMexicanTaco for making these available and naming me a lucky winner of his generous contest giveaway. Also to @Rob Daman doing his video without using clamps and flatly disregarding personal safety ( LOL ) for drilling holes in his dash, so I ventured forward with minimal confidence and loads of determination.

The install was much easier than expected and was an absolute perfect fit. Pulling the dash bezel out was also much easier than expected. However, the bezel required a little more finesse to put back in due to my own clumsiness. That said, the only "complication" I had was that I have a dash mat installed that covered the DSM location so I had to cut a small hole in that as well. Be careful about where you cut that hole though since it will become a perminant anchor point for the dash mat.

Here are my photos of the install and it looks good with the dash mat!

 

great job! i think the dash mat would help with any off set holes made.

I just don't have the cool clamps that @FreshMexicanTaco has ... or any. lol

 

Hey everyone, first of all thanks for making all this possible, I am behind on emails and messages but I am working on them right now. If you've messaged me or posted about some of the products I will be replying soon.

Thanks again!
