what are you guys using for a digital rear view "mirror"/monitor?

I'm looking for one for mine but haven't found one I quite like yet - I want a rear-view mirror proxy and don't want a split-screen/parking lines to be constantly on.

I put this on about a year ago and it has been working just fine.

I kind of like the guidelines so I left them on. I believe you can easily disable them by cutting a wire. I mounted the camera under the receiver hitch. And I mounted the display on the top center of the windshield. I have a helmet top.

There are now bigger units, but like you, I did not want to have deal with a split screen.

I have another, larger, split screen and a side cameras for additional blind spot mitigation.

I just went with one off of amazon, https://a.co/d/d85Cn3m. I wanted a unit that had the rearview camera and CarPlay so I can use the phones navigation if need be. The CarPlay linked to the phone works flawlessly so far but I haven’t yet had time to install the rearview camera yet. Spring time farm chores are priority right now.

Installed a new soft top with now quarters given flag from William Welsh (blue ox) his work, as usual is outstanding. He will be re-stitching my previous top and does not want to charge me, even though i explain to him i beat the hell of my truck and use it everyday.

Bill does great work. If you ever want a soft slant back to match I use the same material from the same vendor.

Seats are regular from ebay or amazon. I will try to get a link and post. Rims are black rhino abrams 17" and tires are Toyo's 40's M/T. Not noisy at all for the kind of tire.

Edit: seats are from ebay, picture attached.

Got my hard doors finally mounted! Took a couple months to find and get the flat doors. I'll paint them green this summer when its warm enough to go without doors for a week.

Relocate air filter restriction gauge and install tachometer

Popped the little hole plugs into underside of the hood, finishing up that project.

Installed what I consider the absolute coolest strap on the entire truck. When you're on a multi hour convoy, you can kill time by counting the number of times it sways back and forth-

Rebuilt the pintle, which didn't swivel and was missing the lock pin and chain. Yes, I know the chain and pin I used isn't AMG, but I had them kicking around and they worked. BTW- there's a grease zerk on this thing. Mine hadn't been used since the truck was built-

Swapped the front shackles to the rear in order to clean up the front mounts, then reinstall the NOS shackles I got from Austin-

My boy keeps having issues with the VIC headsets (both Bose and Racal) staying on his head (he's 9), so I picked up some cheap headset pads to see if it works. Anyone ever seen a smaller size headset adapted to the VIC?

He's also been begging for a cupholder. These were the most heavy duty I could find in the style I wanted. 3/16 powdercoated steel. Not sure on mounting yet-

This truck came with the driver seat out of a ECV for whatever reason. It's a bit too tall for me. Will someone with an A0,A1,A2 measure their seat mount to see how it differs from the energy absorbing one?

Where did you get the cup holders?
Also I wonder if you can't just remove the energy absorbing mount??

Stumbled on it just searching around.

I don't think I can just take the mount out. The bolt pattern is different from the sliders to the seat. There might be another set of holes though. I have considered bending a mount similar to the A0 one, but I haven't gotten that far yet. I'm too busy driving it to want the seat out for a while

Downloaded all the TM’s from the top of this forum.

Wow. Takes time.
