Re: Recommendations for mounting an overhead console?
I didn't mount a console up there, but a CB radio. It weighs, I guess, about 2.5 pounds. I didn't trust myself to put any screws up there, and also thought if I don't like it there I would have to deal with the holes. Laugh if you will, I mounted it with rare earth magnets. I put 1 in each corner of the radio. They are about 1" X 1.5" and over the last year it's been up there it hasen't moved one little bit. Only thing is, if I ever try to move it it's going to be a battle to get the magnets off the roof. I stuck one to a file cabinet to test it and had to use vise grips and a putty knife to remove it. Just a thought, Jim

Little stuff left to do is mount winch, wet sand & buff out and build belly pan\running boards. Body work takes lots and LOTS of beer!!!! God, Guts and Guns made America and God, Guts and Guns will preserve it! The worst thing you could do is get into my sights, but that don't matter, you'll never know it, cause you'll never hear the shot  Jim or Paladin whichever you choose.
