Not rly fab to me. More like 'modification'. Its out of a late 70's full sized dodge so idk what kind of tubing it is but its plenty thick.

Tested the fit today again after welding the second b-pillar support brackets on. Fits pretty good. Not great but good. Still got to weld the feet on the short support legs. Got to find some 3/16"x2" angle for that.

-Also put in a DIY switch to control the camera's. Put it where the little dish is between the shifter and ebrake. Controls the video input and supply's power to the camera's one at a time.

-Replaced the TPS sense it went out on me the last time i went wheeling, spitting and spuddering trying to get back home.
What headunit you have, been looking for a touch screen for my 89
