Steves D40 king cab build

[Monkeymagic77]

thats real good.. nice and tidy!

 

[gunning1987]

Keep that ram mount tight at the ba. Over time the clamrp rubs against the ally and allows it to rock back and forth, really annoying!

assumption correct , and its an American made RAM mount , its stable enough for back roads and hi way , but hard 4x4,ing you would want to take the IPad out , i haven't really used it for 4x4,ing , although i do have mud map on it and a hi way gps . the problem ive found is not the mount , its the bloody mapping programs and the chargers , when running the maps , it drains the battery even when its connected to a charger , and ive tried 3 brands , so eventually it goes flat

We went through this with the wife's ipad, most USB car chargers are or were 1 amp. The newer USB chargers can be found with 2 amp charging, and that's what's needed for ipad 4, its a nightmare at home with a ipad that needs the particular charger it came with and not be confused with the older iPod chargers the kids have

i had their bash plates on my Triton , and was very happy , but i don't think their D40 ones go as far back as ARB ones , iam very local to them too
