    That really isn't much work - you should take your dash apart and look at the component involved. I have a 2003 tahoe and i wanted to buy the answer - but had so much fun doing bondo, sanding and looking at "MY WORK" after I was done... Remember that you can always take it to a custom shop and they can charge you $700 or so to do it!

    Alright, scratch this idea. For some reason doing my measurements, it wont fit where I want it to. and I'm not moving my radio to the glove box. I'm gonna stick to my original plan and put it on the floor between the front 2 seats and build the entire thing out of wood w/ a flip up LCD. *sigh* I liked the dash idea though.

    You don't have to move your head unit to the glove box. I would rid of it completely and go Computer>Amp>Speakers. It will not only look better but most likely sound better.

    I still want the option to use my head unit. I paid a good $500 for it and it's not going anywhere. Besides I need something to fall back on when the computer *****s up, and I know it will eventually.

    what if you take the lcd out of the casing and mount it. That usually saves lots of room

    That's fine. A little travel does the truck good. Besides I have my Blue Logger on my laptop in case I get lost!
