What did you do to your AT4 today?

So in that tray area on the left wall. I removed the right knee center console panel. Then removed the left corner panel with the chrome on it to expose the inside of that left wall. From there, three bolts with locking washers and a washer to firmly secure it.

Pretty clever!

Thank you, these trucks are difficult to find decent phone holders for that don't require magnets then you can't use the wireless phone charger. So I think this will give me the best of both worlds.

Today I placed my order for my MY25 1500. I know production doesn't start until August, but HOPEFULLY having it in before SORP will help get it to me sooner (, but not gonna hold my breath).

Today I installed a pair of the Banks iDash gauges in the Banks pod (after I painted the pod.)

This is a great solution to an irritating problem. Finding the secure mounting point was the toughest part. Once you have that there are lots of Ram-mount type options from outfits like 67 Designs and BulletPoint. Good Job!

I looked at bulletpoint but they dont make much for our interiors. So purchased the mount from Amazon, then started digging into the center console to see the best place to mount it while still trying to keep my tray area space usable.

Yup. GM’s “refresh” removed all of the convenient and secure mounting options the aftermarket relied upon. It seemed sensible to their design team as long as they were getting rid of accessory switches, 12 volt outlets, and many other conveniences.

Was thinking they could make a mount for this location. Wouldn't be that difficult for them to design their base mount here, then the arms attached to that.

Maybe? It depends on what is below it and how easy it is to access. The beauty of the mid-dash tray on the pre-refresh GM trucks, all Fords, all Dodge/Rams, and all Jeep Wranglers, is:
1) It provided easy access to steel, so the mount was secure, and
2) The many mounting options from that location allowed the driver and passenger to see the screens without looking down, and
3) The mounts could be removed with no resulting cosmetic blemish — because if any new holes were required they were small, and they’d be covered by a little mat in that forward tray.

That set up was for too perfect, so it needed to be engineered away…

Note: the console on the HD trucks is different, as our gear selector is on the column.

Very nice? How do you like the ridge grapplers? How is the road noise, on road traction? Was looking to get the k03's when my size gets released in aug, but liked the more aggressive look of the ridge grapplers.

I like them much better than the oem Goodyears. Quieter, ride better, stronger sidewall and look great.

Finally wired up my rear bumper baja design lights. These lights are nice and bright.
