Default Weather Equipment on my ford?

I know this is probably a longshot, but, does anyone know of anyone that has installed weather surveillance equipment on their truck? I wanna know a good place to get the stuff from. I normally have my laptop sitting on top of my center console but, people seem to frown upon it, especially when I drive through my base's main gate with my radar on...lol.

This might sound rude but its not. Cant you just close your laptop and then reopen it once you get past secfo?

Check out RAM mounts. That will give you a floor mount for your laptop, keeping it off the console and more secure

Mount an iPad then? I think most weather software is computer based, you could get a smaller, cheaper ultra book and slap it in there.
