I think I speak for everyone here: WTF???

[Corey]

Thanks.
I thought I would put it off to the side, as later when I install an Alpine W200 DVD indash stereo, I will also hook up my old Rockford 500a2 amp, and probably put the JL 15" W6 sub centered on the cargo box.

I miss the thump from the 4Runner

Hi Bill, have not ran the coax yet, or installed the CB.
There is an awfull lot of headroom on top, I just may see how much Cartoys will charge me to put my huge Cobra 29 up there, and also run the wires to it.

Gotta lot of wires
coax
power
CB speaker for in cab, sounds better than CBs internal one
PA horn for under the hood to use as PA, or to monitor CB channel when out of the rig.

If not on the head liner, I will probably do it to the glovebox like I had it in my 4Runner.
Lots of room there too for a big unit.

Now thats a man on a mission !

A few hours after breakfast is all it took.

Brake cable bracket you must remove first, the closest one to you.
Brake cable bracket

Passenger side slider ready to go

Passenger side mounted

Brake cable bracket back in place
Notice that these are also gusseted.

There were a few nicks in the powder coating from shipping or making them, but that is to be expected.
You can see a touchup on the front part of the passenger side.
I have not sanded it, and probably will not.
I threw some old black touchup paint on it with the brush in the bottle.

Drivers side
One

Two

14 mm socket for the brake cable bracket
13 mm wrench for the sliderz bolts.

It is to hard to use a socket on the sliderz bolts.
I have some metric Craftsman ratchet wrenches that worked perfect for this.
Ratchet wrenches are a joy to work with if you have never used them before.

My fiance and I had the clifford 2 way remote start installed on her 4 runner about a month back. Just take care of the keyfob, its very cheaply made. Other than that we love it.

[Corey]

Thanks Medic.

Gonzo, I paid an extra $60 for a 4 year warranty that will replace both remotes anytime during that period for free.

Hopefully I will not need to use the warranty.

Sweet setup, I'm getting the Clifford Martix installed as well. Good feedback.

I am on a roll now.
Very cheap mod!

Several years ago I bought a squeeze mount at Radio Shack to hold my Garmin GPS.
It itself hooks to another mount that mounted it to the heater faceplate controls.

I unbolted it from it today, and took the inner cup holder out of the main cup holder at the front of the console.

The squeeze mount I have bolts to the inner cup holder when it is flipped upside down.

You then take it and squeeze the sides of it and gently push it into the main cup holder upside down.

Presto chango, by gosh it turns into a iPod mount.
You can adjust the angle of it too.

I am sure Radio Shack still carries these mounts, or you can find them online somewhere else.

Well, we have the Bandi mount for the CB antenna for the back door, I am going to name this the Corey mount

Here are two quick pics I just took.
I still have to bolt the mount to the cup holder, it is just resting there for now.
But it is time for bed, it can wait until tomorrow.
