    Haha that's what I was thinking, did you just stick the adhesive onto the floor liner?

    The hard side is on the bottom of the inverter and that sticks to the carpet really well.

    Well the Snugtop was great but I sold that a few years ago. I am looking at going back to a Snugtop. Their Pro line commercial topper with win doors and some other goodies.

    Not yet...give it a few months...

    I try and get out wheeling when I can. Work has kept really busy lately.

    Hey nice truck...

    Question: How did you mount your Garmin? Looks like a RAM mount, but I'm guessing you used something to attach it to the actual door THROUGH the plastic cover for the mirror?

    Also, care to shed a little light on your Ham rig setup? Antenna, antenna mount, radio mount especially...

    Thanks!

    I just moved some stuff around and cleaned it up a little. I will post some pics of the changes and how I mounted the garmin this weekend.

    There's a ton more selection. Plus with the 17s no worries about caliper contact. Of course then you get to start trimming the fenderwell plastic with the 285s (about 33.5" tall) but so what? :rolleyes:

    My Terra Grapplers air down great and I have the load range E's. I run about 12PSI. :)

    Nice, thanks. Just trying to to find places for the mounts with all that plastic isn't easy. I don't particularly want to hack up the dash too much.

    When you get to mounting your new CB. Can you please take a few photos of your old dash set up from the rear. I am in the process of installing my Cobra 19 in the place where you had yours.

    I upgraded my radio to a Pioneer AVH-8400BH and with it being a double DIN, it gave me the excuse to go ahead and get a Cobra 75WXST CB radio. I also moved around a few items and cleaned everything up a bit.

    First photo is my old setup.

    screen-capture_4e5fbec7198109be8be35fc1160c7db03a5776fa.jpg

    This is the new setup. I wanted everything within plain view for the driver.

    _DSC2065_1212c73ff88a9ed770c7e7d489c51fe29b4e2f5b.jpg

    The 75WXST was mounted next to the Garmin GPS. I used a piece of flat metal from the hardware store and mounted the mic holder up.

    _DSC2071_73b6438c73219d53cbeaa57151aae8f25b85f682.jpg

    The Yaesu was also moved up on top of the steering column. I used two l-brackets that costed $.60 from Lowes and painted them black. For the mic, I put velcro on the back and mounted a velcro strip below the AC controls.

    _DSC2072_28d39cfcf0d7bddeebb4e954bfa5134ef35b4a51.jpg

    Here you can see the velcro strip and the super nice 8400BH. THe velcro strip also covers up some holes that were drilled into the plastic. Overall, I am loving the new setup.

    Front of plate with the mic holder for the 75WXST. The mic holder I got off of ebay. The mic won't fall out when you are out on the trails with this holder.

    And here is the back.
