dzJeepChic 1,953 Posted February 25, 2010 Dude, that's radical! I can't believe how much different it looks with that bumper on it. Nice Add! d Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
datrupr 0 Posted February 26, 2010 Thanks, guys. I love the way these trucks look with that bumper on them. I also like the added weight in the front, it helps soften the very harsh ride from the heavy duty suspension I added. Now to work on underside protection, then a winch.

datrupr 0 Posted March 28, 2010 OK, I made a few changes a while back but kept forgetting to take pictures and post them up. I finally got around to it today, so here goes. First, my clineometer was not staying put where I had mounted it in the early stages so it was moved to a more secure location and also easier for me to see. Besides, I didn't need the clock anyway (pic coming soon). Also, the thermometer for the fridge was not staying put so I needed a better way to secure it as well. Well, I was searching around quite a bit an looking for a good deal on a way to mount the thermometer as well as get a mount for my GPS. Well, the last time I bought a mount for a Magellan GPS unit from Magellan I felt really screwed out of my money. It was a total piece of junk and it broke in just a couple of weeks and it was $40. So, I decided to go the aftermarket route. Now, I know a lot of people on other boards are huge fans of the Ram Mounts and they do look nice and have gotten good reviews, I didn't want to spend that much money. Well, I was in Best Buy one day right around Christmas and found this: It is a Best Buy brand called Rocketfish and it looked pretty versitile and sturdy. And, it was only $20. So I picked one up and thought I would give it a try. Well, after a couple weeks of testing it appeared to do the trick. So, I went and got another one. Well, they seem to do the trick pretty well and I am happy with them. The one holding the GPS: It holds the thermometer very well also: How the "command center" looks now. Here you can also see the relocated clineometer over the factory clock: Also, I leave the thermometer in it's mount pretty much the whole time, but around town I do not use the GPS, so the mount makes a good place to put the iPod: So, those are the changes thus far, and I have to say that so far I am pretty impressed with the Rocketfish mounts. I have not done a lot of off-road testing with them yet, but the short amount of testing I have done they have proven themselves to be up to the task.

theksmith 3,065 Posted March 28, 2010 nice and clean, keep us updated long term on those holders... they might be a good value alternative (i do love RAM mounts though!) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
datrupr 0 Posted March 28, 2010 Will do, Kris. Once I get into the rough stuff a bit more (probably not until June) I'll keep everyone posted, so far they are doing well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
