There is a write up somewhere of someone putting one from an explorer up there. Looked pretty good too.

The rifle-it version is just one solid shelf across the cab, so you can carry a gun without having the gun rack over the rear window. You remove the folding sun visors, and install a drop bracket where the visors mount, then install the shelf to the drop bracket. The visors then mount under the shelf. If I remember right, the holes were all predrilled, so it was pretty much a bolt on type of deal. The one I have is pretty sturdy, and the color matches the interior pretty close. I have had this one for 12-15 years, with no problems with it. Hopefull they aren't made in china now.

Tom, could you post a pic or two just to see how it looks in our obs rigs? the stock photos are somewhat less than informative! no worries if its a pain...

I have one in my truck. Been there for YEARS !!!!!!
I think I even had it in my '88 when I had that one.

Mine has a center section that has a sunglass holder and change holder.
Honestly mine just collects junk but I still like it.

But my truck is at my brothers right now so I can't send a pic of it.
