Next mod done! It's something small but I wanted a better place to have my handgun while driving. I hate having it IWB while wearing my seatbelt and in my previous cars, getting to the center console where I used to keep it was a lot easier.
Now with the center console being under the jump seat it makes it difficult to get to quickly so I figured out a way to mount a holster within reach and out of sight (and within the guidelines for "securely encased" as set forth in Florida Statute 790.25.)
As a precursor, THE FIREARM DOES NOT STAY IN THE VEHICLE LIKE THIS. It's either locked up underneath the seat or taken with me, the handgun is only in the holster while I'm in the vehicle.
I used a Fobus holster and cut off the mounting portion of it. I then used 3M velcro strips with some dabs of super glue to secure the velcro. I can remove the holster if I want but it's also pretty damn secure when drawing the weapon.

Well, doesn't seem to be a whole lot of interest, but figure I'll keep updating since I've got some big stuff planned in the next couple months.
Just got myself some FX4/HD taillights and will eventually pick up the matching headlights too.

I contemplated a lift, but after figuring out my new 17" wheels won't work with any of the steering knuckles, I scratched that idea.
Then I've got some other ideas for the remainder of the suspension. Possibly some Camburg UCA's and mayber some Deaver or National leafs out back with a set of air bags to help support the rear when I've got heavy stuff in the bed.

Nice spot to put a handgun. The others ive seen arent as good of a place. Ill probably end up putting a mount right where you did
