Fixed this , with that...
Center Diff lock now worky.....
I need to do the very same thing to mine. Do you recall the size socket you needed for that?
I'm ignorant - what was the problem?Fixed this , with that...

Dumb me!!! When I looked I didn't realize you were referring to his bumper getting smashed by your metal one!!!
Any vibration?
Actually yes. Gonna change the mount.
Bought this one for around $40, thought I would give it a try. But it vibrates too much for me. I do really like how it bolts to the seat rail though.

Andy try a clamp to hold it to the center console. This works well enough for me!
Thx Ben. You don't have a pic anywhere do you?
The fact you can mount a mobile device such as a tablet or ipad to the front console in ANY form is the reason I'd recommend most people skimp on double din players with DVD. Better just to be able to connect a phone and simple radio with bluetooth. Your ROI should be in the sound quality, not trying to waste space with a double din's DVD. Tablets are just too nice..

@ntsaint, Andy,
Here are some photos. After adding this clamp it still moves a little bit on very rough rides, but is very livable. The thing we *really* like about this mount is that you do not have to loosen or tighten it to rotate it back and forth b/w driver and passenger! In one of the photos below I am pointing to the set screw, if you keep that firm but not tight you can rotate the mount back and forth. The clamp is locked in place which locks the tilt of the iPad. For someone pretty anal retentive like myself, I hated our old mount in the 4R where you had to unscrew and rotate and screw it back to move it from person to person.
You'll also note in the photos that I removed the black center console piece so that I could put proper nuts and bolts through the added clamp. This makes it much more secure than just some little sheet metal or wood screws into the side of the plastic and well worth the extra few seconds of effort.
The last two photos show the "driver view" and "passenger view" position that is obtained by simply rotating the mount back and forth.
Last thing to consider is that we are using this with an Ipad Air. So the mount and ipad itself might be a touch lighter weight than your setup making it less prone to move?

Clean setup. Will give that a shot!
Mine is an IPad mini 2 so weight shouldn't be the issue.
@krice, so you just spliced in the cubies directly to the line that was running to the old reverse light and used some kinda big washer to hold them in? Can you elaborate on the install?
Played in some sand yesterday
Replaced passenger side CV shaft. Inboard boot was spit'in out a just hint of grease. Had a slight harmonic between 40-60mph, and it improved that as well.
Decided it is time to put on the OPOR sliders. May I recommend you have a friend help you when doing this... A job that could have taken 30 min took 2+ hours. Damn are my arms tired! But I think they look good!
