Any pictures of it mounted? I have the ram mount also and can't decide where i want to place the IPad. Haven't used the suction cup before but your review sounds tempting.

I will try and take some tonight, Since the wife is the navigator we mounted it in the corner of the windshield and positioned it to her liking. I hit some pretty hard roads over the weekend and the iPad barely moves at all, I was expecting this mount to not work like I had planned, but surprisingly it held up great and exceeded my expectations. It def is nice to have your Topo maps up on the screen and use Gaia to track where your at. Also I use my Garmin for navigating as well, I found out you can upload topo maps and other off road maps and trails onto a regular garmin nuvi that has an sd card slot. So between the two if I get lost I'm a complete idiot lol.

Here's a shot of the cock pit ready to hit the trails. IPad Mini Cellular loaded with Gaia and offline topo maps with Ram Mount suction cup mount, Garmin Nuvi 27XX forgot the numbers loaded with topo maps and aerial satellite maps.
Pics later on of today's wheeling.

Truck is looking good. I wish I lived closer to the desert. So much to explore out there. Where I am.....not so much, but I did find a nice new coffee spot. LOL
Tundra look pretty too.

Thanks Mikey I appreciate it brother. As much as I despise Las Vegas I will say we are spoiled with all the wheeling spots around southern Nevada. I'm really looking forward to June when I'm going camping and wheeling in the southern Utah wilderness I here the views are similar to Yosemite so it should be sweet.

Yes sir those are the wheelers & was a righteous pain in the ass to get them installed. The Allen key they give you is just long enough that you can only tighten it down about a quarter turn at a time. I highly recommend jacking up the vehicle and letting the suspension droop as much as possible, if you have access to a lift then this job is cake, also a good wide set of channel locks or pipe wrench will get the stock bumps off with ease. As for the rears waiting on my metal tech bumps to arrive.

Ya I found the old emblem online. I can get you the part number if you'd like it's like $35 I believe from pretty much most on-line Toyota parts dealers. What you will have to do is bust out the dremmel and shave down the three tabs on the backside as this emblem is meant to go on a grille. Then I used 3M automotive emblem adhesive and slapped that baby on. I ended up removing the black plastidip and now the letters are white with black trim looks better now IMO. If you go all black like the one in my pic you'll want to do a different color in between the letters to give it more contrast and that POP effect. With the all black it looked too busy hence why I ended up removing the dip and exposing the white letters, which made it look night and day better.
Looks great Dave,
Let's see some pics of the new look, I am about to install my letters like yours, I made them seperate and painted them dark grey to match the rest of the grey
The ladder, any mods to it so it don't interfere with the upper rack, I have the same rack on mine

I will get some new pics up here soon, as for the ladder, it did not interfere at all with my Baja Rack and that's with the HD lift gate struts installed. I still have an inch or more of clearance from the top of the ladder to the end of the rack.
