Here is a project I haven been playing with for the past couple months since I don't have much time to modify much with school and all. Technically this isn't a radio install so you guys can't kill me... Its a tablet install

So basically I installed a Nexus 7 in place of my stock stereo. I have many things connected via usb such as a DAC (transmits audio much better than a 3.5mm), Joycon EXR (steering wheel controls), DVB-T Tuner (for FM stations), Flash drive and a backup camera. I basically just made a bracket to fit in place of the stock radio and used velcro to attach the tablet to the bracket and added shims behind the bracket to make it flush with the dash trim.

You may be asking your self how does this modification help my off road capabilities.... Well uhhh... can you check the weather on your head unit? lol













This is my triple gauge pillar pod that I added to keep an eye on my temps while going all out on the sand dunes.
