A GPS, radar detector, tire pressure monitor, Bullydog tuner, backup camera and a garage door opener. One busy dash! I can still see out the front window!

How do you keep all that stuff from vibrating off? I have a GPS with a sandbag mount that bounces all over the place.

GOOP works wonders. No holes to drill and you can peel it off when you want. Oh yes, forgot to mention the dashcam, but it's mounted on the sun visor. Keeps a loop of front and rear video, audio, lat &long and speed. Just incase I get stopped, I have a full record of what happened where and when.

Only thing on the Tundra dash is the bean-bag holder with our Garmin. (If we're using it...we usually don't within Colorado because we tend to like to go to our favorite campgrounds.)

We haven't been out, yet, in 2015, but we do have a new TPMS to mount but I think that'll just go on my driver-side window up near the front if I can connect the power down below into the breaker box. (It's on my todo list.)

I added a small inverter to the underside of the dash so my wife could plug in her laptop while we motor along.Click image for larger version
