Preliminary Small Mod Ideas

[Slatester89]

Another area I'm interested in is the dash panel to the left of the steering wheel. Since Slate offers a speaker for that area it's obvious there is space back there and a power connection of some sort.
I'd like to have a small over the air FM radio that could output to Bluetooth for listening to local radio programs that don't get streamed. Eagles games, for example.
Maybe the cover panel can be made easily removable and replaceable such that a small radio could be integrated in there, and then covered by the panel when not in use.

I found this bluetooth radio that is $50 that has just about every feature I could want.

Radio's feature set:
A rechargeable AND replaceable common size battery is a hard to find feature these days

Given it has a telescoping antenna, having it in a cubby might limit reception...I like it and will consider it as my radio solution. Maybe better mounted on the t-rail next to the phone mount. Then when you park, throw it into a cubby.

My dash accent will probably be made of wood. I can CNC parts like that really easily.

Attwood sells two versions of their gimbaled drink holder. One for mugs, one for bottles.

A bicycle bottle cage might work too.

I have something similar on my motorcycle.

Another idea.
In various videos it's been demonstrated how far forward the passenger seat can slide on its double track to provide access to the 2nd row in the SUV configuration.

I wonder if the seat can be locked in that forward position while driving which would yield a bit of additional cargo space in the pickup config.
If so, I plan to cut ABS pegboard to place as a platform in that area behind the seat to carry items I wouldn't want sliding around. I could place pegs or bolts in the pegboard holes as retainers in the general outine of the cargo.
In keeping with my "half-baked ideas" theme, I imagined having to deliver a layer cake without it sliding around in transit.
I don't think the AI image generator fully understood the brilliance of my prompt, but I do think you'll get the idea of keeping small cargo movement to a minimum.

Wow, that was great!
Thanks for a good laugh.
I mean the AI translation of course.

So... any plans for the roof? We'll the panel really. If i'm not mistaken on the square body and hatchback , it looks like there's a roof panel that comes off. The right looking horses on the fly table. Especially if you have the frunk open and using that like a cool. Some c claims few tripods and you can raise it off for a little bit of shade. Just thoughts....
