Overview
The interior of my truck has been highly modified. First, I removed the seats, carpet, and factory sound-deadening mat. I glued Dynamat and rubber truck liner on the cab floor and rear cab wall to reduce interior noise levels. The factory carpet is impossible to keep clean in an backroad environment so it was replaced with factory vinyl.
Seats and 5 point Racing Harness
The factory seats are rather soft and bouncy on four wheel drive trails, and didn't fit me well, so I replaced them with Recaro Sport seats that fit me much better and provide much more support. Along with the seat replacement, I added five-point safety racing harnesses to both front seats.
Sound System
The factory stereo was replaced with a Panasonic in dash CD player, a 6 CD changer was installed under the driver's seat, and a 600 watt amplifier was installed under the passenger seat. The factory speakers were replaced with MB Quart separates.
Tuffy Security Box
I installed a Tuffy security box between the front seats to provide secure storage.
Gauge and Switch Panel
I removed the ash tray and cup holder from the dash and added a custom built, anodized aluminum gauge and switch panel. Switches were added to the dash for off highway, driving and fog lights, and a switch was added for the air horns.
Misc
I used Velcro to attach a Smart Tire tire pressure gauge, Garmin GPS III plus global positioning system, my Nokia cell phone and a case for my sunglasses to the dash immediately in front of me. The Smart Tire pressure gauge monitors tire pressure and sounds an alarm if the pressure falls below my set limit, and hopefully will give me time to stop before the tire is damaged. The Garmin GPS III keeps me on track and is portable so I can take it with me on hikes or boat trips. Having my cell phone and sunglasses close at hand increases safety since I'm not hunting for them when I need them. Attaching with Velcro allows me to store these items in my Tuffy security console when not driving so they aren't attracting thieves.
Pass-through to Camper
Safari Vehicles cut out a pass-through to make it easy to move between the cab and camper. This essentially makes the EarthRoamer® a 2 room home with the cab as one room and the camper as another. I can stop and set up camp without ever leaving my truck if I want to.
