I ordered some gear to clean up the interior literally an hour before you posted this. I don’t have buyers remorse, but I wish I had seen this video before I bought. What I ordered was good for me, but now I see how expandable your kit is, I think I’ll be scanning your videos first before I hit “click to buy”. Thanks again for sharing and keep ‘em coming, Casey!
Thanks. I like to show off ideas that are different and hopefully give you guys ideas on how to do things that aren't exactly what everyone else is doing. Good luck in the I stall of the new parts 👊
I always enjoy your videos and I've incorporated some of your mods and ideas. I'm still working to install some of my communications equip (Which needs to be removable) so this was helpful and timely.
Ha! I placed an order with 67 Designs 2 days ago for a Magmount G3 and 2 nano arms. I'm removing their "small" arm because it's just too long for my application. If I had known you were going to do this, I would have left the small arm at EPIC for you to pick up at your leisure. I gotta go there anyway for a install job on Wednesday :)
I really like your setup! I use some ball mount stuff too and I usually scuff up the balls and sockets a bit then they don’t wander as easy. You have more faith than I do with a vertical flat magnet! Magnetic force isn’t big on shear so I have a $20 on that spot falling off on the trail! Myself I’d modify it with some Neodymium magnets if it absolutely has to stay in that position. As always brother great work and awesome feng shui in the Jeep, you have a real talent with that stuff!✌🏼
Hasn't fallen off a cheap Amazon mount I've been using and this 67 Designs magnet has a lot more grab. The spot is very light too. It's not going anywhere.
Love my 67 Designs mount, but found they are often low on stock and their shipping rates to Canada are expensive. I found that tackform.com has compatible arms and accessories with cheaper rates.
How do you have the FTM-400XDR wired up from there to the base unit? I'm looking at doing a similar setup with my JCR Headrack but the remote location of the base unit is such that it's hard to hear at times. May need to wire an external speaker up on the JCR Headrack as well, but would be interested to see how you've positioned yours and if it is hard to hear at all. Thanks!
Yep. Base under dash. Remote speaker up top at back of JCR rack. Extensions on mic and speaker. Mic is mounted on roll bar with a mag mount and retractable keeper.
You should get rid of your Spot satellite, and buy a garmin inreach 66i. With the garmin you can send and receive text messages and emails, also SOS. I love mine and it I think it picks up satellites and sends messages quicker.
How often doesn’t the Spot actually get used ? It will be interesting to see how well it does hanging off the magnet when you are out on the trail. Clean looking instal.
I had it hanging off a generic Amazon magnet for 6 months and it's never fallen off, and this g3 mount is twice the size. I use my spot every time I go out. My wife and daughter live track me and I let them know my eta of return when we are heading out.
@@Casey250 that’s awesome. I am having trouble finding something strong enough for my 12 pro max. In sure that 67 design mount will work better than the wish magnets I get 😂
Hey Casey. Do they make something like this for the XJ, or would this system work on the XJ's dash? I'm currently using suction cups and 3m stickies and really like how this system you've showcased looks. edit: NM.lol. I hadnt finished watching and misunderstood where you were mounting it. great video anyhow! thanks man!
Why didn't you just install the ball mount onto the back of the Yaesu - instead of all those various attachments? that would have mounted it up higher and less expensive too.
I just placed my order for the 2021 Ford Bronco and have been looking around for ideas to mount the head unit for the FTM400. I like the solution from 67 Designs, I am sure they will be making products for the Bronco too. BTW, where did you mount the radio? In my FJ Cruiser and 4Runner, I had mounted radios under my seat and used an external speaker and a mic extension.
@@Casey250 thank you. I am looking forward to getting back in to an off road vehicle. I traded my 4Runner in for a sports car back in 2018 and found myself not being able to pack all of my camping gear in the trunk.
I like to display what the art of possible is. Maybe one or two of these things will fit your needs but 67 Designs has given me an opportunity to show off what I can do and give you guys ideas and determine if it's worth buying and how you can use their products. This Jeep build is all about premium products and trying different things.
I just installed my FTM400 under the passenger seat, was curious where you have yours installed. Are you using an external speaker if installed under seat or concealed elsewhere?
I would also be interested in seeing this. I have a 400 and will be getting a JL in the next couple of months, and I'm looking for suggestions on mounting the body of the radio.
Hi Casey, did you go with PRP or Bartact seat covers? It seems that those are PRP, are these better than Bartact as far as function (leaving looks aside)? Thanks in advance
I do like the PRPs though. The selection of materials is nice for both functionality and esthetics. They are awesome every time I've spoken to them about ideas. I was a set of seats for the JK but I want to try them first.
Grow up and stop spewing immature disgusting F-words. If you had not failed vocabulary class you would have found many other intelligent words to use in this place, instead of the same old tired filth used over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over....
