Garmin GPS Install

I went with the 60CSx I found it here at:

GARMIN INTERNATIONAL - 0100042200 - Garmin GPSMAP 60CSx Handheld GPS Unit

Best price I could find. I then went with the garmin auto mount and mod it only a bit. I removed the center arm so now there is only one arm and this reduced the vibs. I have had the FJ out and jumped it on dirt road and the mount hold and it is steady. Here is the mount:

GPS in the mount good sat coverage about +/- 10ft:

I also wanted to add power but I did not want to drill holes in the FJ I went with the Garmin bare wire cord and fit it down between the gap in the weatherstriping and the dash:

I then thanks to the guys here found a posi tap for the fuse box below the mount.

I gounded the power to the bolt pictured here that hold the brake pedel in place:

All in all a good install that is removable if needed and stays put off road. Thanks for all the help on mounts and power that I got from the Forum.
