For fun, I once was almost the victim of the "air bag launch.' My friends stuck it under a couch and after a hard night of partying we were fighting over who got the beds, couch, and floor. Let's just say I had a female friend so I didn't get the couch. My other unfortunate friend flew up and landed on his face it was pretty funny.

as i seem to remember reading somewhere the grab handle opening was a different size than the air bag opening on the north american trucks, so getting all that swapped over without swapping the dash requires making a cubby... ive yet to see one that looks anything close to factory.
would be neat though, i looked into doing this for the added storage and to get rid of one more thing off the truck hah

Since I have to replace the dash anyways I'll keep my eyes open for an earlier version.

Now I'm feeling even better I did this.... BTW, I see that the entire SRS system is to be serviced every 10 years. It's writing right on the sun visor.

Seems to be plenty of room for a mount like that... I'' go out and take a picture of it removed so you can see what you think. I would require a little fabbing to make it look right...

I agree. I recently had mine out and I put my MAC book inside the little hole while I was taking it apart.
