Where'd you get that bracket?

What sensors? If you just get the compass/day-night, no other sensor is needed. If you want the temperature version, they supply the sensor with a new one, and if you're buying used, they're including the sensor on the one in the link. It's two wires run to just behind the grill, dirill a hole & snap it in.

I made the frame mount out of aluminum angle. The rod mount is a OD tube clamp from Ballistic Fab with a couple tabs welded on.

Thank you. I thought the compass required a stock gyro to be in place. I guess it's time to spend some more on the truck.

That looks really nice, man. Wish I had skills to fab one up. As it is my soldering results are on par with a drunk chimpanzee...

I don't weld, I let "my people" take care of that. Otherwise all the work was done with an angle grinder and a drill. I'm lucky in that we have a lot of scrap metal pieces at work I can play with.
