Finally got around to mounting my Yaesu Ham radio external speaker up front. Radio mounted behind second row. Cable just barely reached running along center console under carpet.
Purchased another ZR Tactical Solutions molle panel for passenger side that is mounted with screws and nuts to center console.
Speaker mounted to it with 2 wing nuts so that I can quickly detach it if the passenger seat ever needs to move all the way forward. While things were apart, added another 12v USB QC port because you can never have too many.

Here they are.
I saw someone's new to them 2021 White Heritage edition LC200 getting loaded on a tractor trailer during my lunchtime walk. Had bumpers, awning and a bunch of other crap. If you bought a lightly used decked out LC200 white heritage edition from someone in Texas lemme know and I can text you the pictures of it getting loaded on the truck.
Nice setup! Could you please share the make/model of the AC vent mount widget you have there? Seems like the dash-mount widget market is a bit anemic for LC200, but I'm probably not looking in the right places. Thank you!

Thanks .
Got the ideas from some other forum members in another thread.
Consolidate parts are:
AC vent clip is from ProClip. I have two, they work great.
This is for the right side vent.

How stable is it? I have the proclip for my iPhone and other than it seeming like it sticks out quite a bit it’s very stable, but with all the ram mount stuff the Yaesu faceplate seems like it’s hanging off the vent mount quite a bit.
How did you get the nite ize to attach to the ham mic? The screw that the mix comes was too small for the nite ize mount that goes on the mic. I tried a variety of washers and could not get it to seat properly on the ball attached to the dash.
Thanks .

Pretty stable so far, no issues. Got the idea from @Hants and he can chime in on stability.
HAM Radio Install
3rd Toyota to install it into....I have the 2020 HE and the problem is (always) determining where the control head will go. I have the Yaesu 400 Welcome to Yaesu.com It's a great unit and the control head allows a dual band site picture. The actual radio itself; I have found a good location...

Nite Ize magnets are strong. I used the adhesive that came with the Nite Ize but as the weather has warmed up, it started falling (adhesive portion on magnet to Pro Clip) when interior heats up.
Trying another approach - Just removed the adhesive from the NIte Ize magnet. Applied some thick super glue to it and the back of the mic. I've had good success with this stuff on plastic and metal.

Will let you know how it goes.

New shoes.. 17" Icon Compression wheels with 285/70/17 Ridge Grapplers. Came from stock wheels with 285/65/18 with 1.25" spacers and always had a little rub at full lock. Got zero rub now with the +25 offset of the icons. Very happy with this set up.
I'd love to see more angles with the new wheels. Considering +25 offset 17" Fuel Vector 5 with 285/70/17.
Thanks!
Had a couple pictures on my phone. One with the spacer and one without. The +25 offset is perfect on these IMO and I really like the 17" look with more sidewall. Pictures on on opposite sides but you get the idea.

On the driver side.

Ah. My eyes told me it extended out on driver side too. Guess not. Looks pretty robust.
How fast is the set up of the awning?

I have the same one and it’s rad. Fast setup, fast pack-up and no poles. It’s easily the most robust and stout awning I have ever used. the only cons are the weight and the the fact that every awning looks terrible on a vehicle.
Bush Company 270 XT Awning - Info, Install and Review
Well folks, I ended up making some changes to my planned interior mods in favor of what appears to be the most robust 270 degree awning option out there. Its from The Bush Company and it is a beast. The awning arrived today, but the brackets I ordered have not arrived yet. The shipping weight...

Blazing. 30 seconds if I’m casual about it. Between that and the RTTx, I can be setup in about 2-3 minutes. That includes getting the ladder out of the back. Pack up is not much more, you just have to take the time to push in the side panels on the tent.
In terms of weight I splurged on the awning @ 61lbs. If you consider the RTTx is only 129lbs and I never had to buy the pioneer rack, I think I’m still ahead on rooftop weight.
