TahoeZoo - I am looking at adding a puter to my Tahoe as well. Currently the plan is to place the monitor in the lower console like your originally had. But I see that you moved it because it was such a pain to keep looking down. My main reason for not wanting the monitor in the stock radio location is because I would think the passenger in the front seat wouldn't be able to see. So, when sitting in your passenger seat, how is the view?

<tonkadawg> yea, those touchscreens are pretty hard to see anyways, to put it on an angle would make it even harder for the passenger to see. Again, if you put the screen in the lower console, the angle from hi/low actually sucks too. you should really just put it in the top of the dash. you can always put an angle on the screen to center it more. then just bondo it in. it wouldnt be that hard. I thought about doing it, but then just said screw the passenger. I didnt want to sacrafice my view anymore. good luck.

TahoeZoo - thanks for sharing!

I think I want to keep the monitor in the lower console - "Screw you baby" just wouldn't go over too well with my girlfriend - especially with all the road trips we take.

If you still have it, would you be interested in selling your double pocket insert from the lower console? PM me if you are.

<sorry for the thread jack>

<tonka> you might want to set the screen in there and just see how the quality is from the passenger seat before you do any mods. it will only take a second to do. just power up the puter and plug in the monitor.

sorry, i dont have the pocket anymore, i originally cut it apart to use it as themount but later decided to design my own.
Love to see some pics when your done!

Someone should start a Tahoe section.....waiting....waiting.....waiting for someone to start a Tahoe section.....ok, anyways, TahoeZoo, I really like your design. I have a OBS '99 Tahoe and am trying to sell it so that I can get a NBS Tahoe. Once I do, I will probably steal your design for mine.

No prob. Keep me updated on how it goes. I also had a 96 'ho so if you need info on that truck I have plenty to go around.

Well fortunately and unfortunately i had to move overseas so i left the Tahoe in the states unfinished. I really wanted to clean everything up a bit but i will have to do it another time. here is the final product. take a look at my website for more pics.
