Radios are starting to go in already:

I'm a big fan of Ram Mounts and use them for a lot of things.

AnyTone SmartCB - This would have fit UNDER the lid if I didn't need to connect coax to it.

Going to put one of these under the cup holders, next to the long thin pocket with my CB.
This will be there to power each of the three transceivers, and the APRS Transmitter.

It'll be wired to the battery with a 100a circuit breaker, into a 100a relay.
The relay will be switched allowing me to cut any residual draw from the radios (The APRS Transmitter is 10w and beacons every 5 minutes, and runs a GPS 24/7 otherwise)
I'll put this switch next to the Tow/Haul switch in front of the shifter.
