This will be a slow project, at least until funds provide. Considering the vehicle's age, I won't be doing any serious trail riding soon. It's my only vehicle; daily-driver. It'll be used to get in/out of campsites, hunting/fishing areas and towing a small boat.

ProClip for iPhone: The Pro Clip just snaps onto the bezel and tilts/rotates. It's adjustable to accommodate a phone case/protector and has a pass-through connection for charging and eventually an iSimple.

VanTech Crossbars: Needed something a bit more sturdy to strap my homemade cedar-strip canoe to the roof. Stock crossbars were too flimsy and slippery. The VanTech bars have sliding tie-down rings.
