    I live in Seattle. I bought the truck just outside of Dallas, TX. So of course I broke it in with a 3,500 mile road trip back home.

    I packed it with my fly fishing gear, a cush camping mattress, toasty sleeping bag and drove home. I stopped off at a few national parks and family members' houses along the way, but mostly just slept in the bed.

    Installed for the trip:
    Escort Max360 Radar Detector
    Blackvue DR590W Dash Camera
    $171 Uniden Bearcat 980 40- Channel SSB CB Radio with Sideband NOAA WeatherBand,7- Color Digital Display PA/CB Switch and Noise Cancelling Mic, Wireless Mic Compatible

    Good looking truck! How long did it take you to install your dash cam?

    Not long. For the road trip, I just stuck it on the suction mount and plugged it in to the cigarette lighter.

    Once I got home I hard wired it using a fuse tap. I did the Blackvue GPS unit, Camera and Detector wiring at the same time, probably an hour and a half total. Most of that was running/hiding wires and zip tying the extra lengths.

    that’s good to know. I’ll be in the same boat in a few months and that will also be my first purchase. Thanks

    Currently prepping for a 5,000 mile road trip with my 130lb Newfoundland. And since she's too big for the back seat, I decided to make some modifications.

    I purchased the full rear seat delete from Goose Gear and after a 4 month wait, it finally arrived this week and I was able to install it.
