I bought it on jcwhitney and I paid 94. Its runs about 111 or so and I got 15% off. But I just looked at it and right now its 89 and you can get 10% still. I think its worth the money. Especially cause it gets my cb up and out of the way.

Yeah I like it cause my old mount for my cb prevented me from using my pop out cupholders. And that's too bad cause it definately gives more room for your stuff, but someone said they offered one for the stock console if you wanna look that up

Maybe I'm just overly paranoid.

I have found out that it is very well designed. The 1 inch lip is plenty to keep your stuff from flying off if you hit the gas or brake hard. Also turning corners sharp or normal they don't slide from side to side. Not sure if it is the felt material it has on it or the design but sunglasses, gloves, packs, cb, pens, etc, don't slide anywhere when driving. Obviously a car accident would probably be a different story....

Here's mine. Had it for over 10 years, and I'm glad it is still made for our Gen 10's. I had to notch out a small part of it so I could see my radar detector. All wiring was run down the a-pillar, and the antenna cable is over the door panel, tucked behind.

That's awesome! Someone else with a cb up there. I need to extend my cb power wiring and figure out how to conceal it all. I have a radar detector too that I don't know where to put on it yet.

It's a cool way to paint something , you get speacial chemicals , put them in a container of water , get any pattern you want in this film , put the film in the water , the film turns to like a liquid you dip whatever u want in the container and the film sticks to your product
