Default Picture of center dash with trim plate off?

Anyone have a picture of the center pillar of the dash with the trim panel off? The area that has the radio and climate controls.

Just wondering how much empty space is available behind the RAM label.

I don't have a picture, but I have opened it up quite a few times to install various aftermarket parts and there is a ton of space in there.

My truck has the floor mounted shifter though. If you have a bench seat in the front I'm not sure how much space is there.

I've seen the thread where people are using the pocket by their left knee, and I just can't see putting it in a place that hard to see and reach.

It's too bad that nobody makes a decent remote mount brake controller. Reese makes a timer based piece of junk, that has great packaging. If only tekonsha would nuild something like that with the prodigy brains in it.

The reese controller

looks like a good spot for it, that area is pretty big back there but watch make sure not to put pressure on the bottom or the cupholder wont latch

No hail on mine yet, but it's parked outside year round so it'll get some eventually. Every car I've owned gets some hail damage, and I've never bothered fixing it since I know that it'll happen again.
