[QUOTE="Beerj, post: 760442, member: 10035"] Figured I should update this and continue documenting my struggles. Started a thread about comms ([URL]https://www.hardlinecrawlers.com/threads/trail-comms.62852/page-2[/URL]) and ended up basically going through my installation process. Gonna pick up where I left off over here. So my great new idea to solve the clearance for the plugs isn't really anything special or revolutionary but it works and will also allow for easier service/access in the future, something I'm not really known to take into consideration. All I did was cut the console panel, overlap 1" and screw them back together with some stainless rivnuts. Now this obviously pulled the rear portion away from the cage where it was going to mount but I'll just build the bottom and rear panel as one, overlap (or underlap rather) the back of the top panel and tab that to the cage as well. This way, I'll be able to remove the top panel which is what the units actually mount to and pull everything out the top, eliminating any need to wiggle up between the links and all that. Obviously, this probably won't be any help to others tackling a similar project, but this is my solution to my own created problem. It'll be great (enough for me).[ATTACH type="full" alt="20210913_121116.jpg"]155144[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full" alt="20210913_125929.jpg"]155145[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full" alt="20210913_125956.jpg"]155146[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
