Do you have one in your truck.

If so where have you mounted it ??
There is no mechanical problem so difficult that it cannot be solved by brute strength and ignorance.

I've got two mounted on the inside of the rear barn doors. I am about to mount one between the front seats to comply with winch challege rules.

Not much room in my singlecab for anything but it sits behind the drivers seat with all the other junk and its the first thing that falls out when you flip the seat back :?

Mine's in the back of the truck, would like one in the front, but there is a lack of space.
Ok people, move along. Nothing to see here. Thank you, move along.

got to be real careful about how securely they're fixed to the vehicle coz the last thing anybody wants is a 1 or 2kg missile bouncing around the inside of the cab in a roll over or accident :?
