Had to drill the dash but it can be covered with a new piece if I ever decide to take it out.

Finished with the radio inside, but it started raining so I couldn't get the coax ran to the antenna. Maybe one day this week.


I'll need to run a ground from the antenna to the frame cause the tool boss is aluminum and it's sitting on a bed liner. Also, need to figure out how to get the coax out of the cabin.

Nice clean install, it'll be a cold day in hell before I drill into my dash.

Yea, my wife was pretty aggravated by the whole deal, but the hole will be easy to cover up with a new tray, if I ever decide to take it out.

Nice work, almost looks like it belongs there.

I decided on the Galaxy 979 because it fit the spot perfectly. I also have a 959 that I would have preferred, but it's 1/2-3/4" wider and wouldn't have sit as nicely in that spot.
