The dimensions of the tank Dan used were 10" wide by 6" tall by 30-1/2" long. I forget the exact volume but he did say you couldn't go any wider or taller but there is room to go longer for more volume.

Well I can't take any credit at all for this mod as I blatantly copied it from another members build I saw. Anyway, so far this has got to be my very favorite mod yet as it is just so useful. It's a 1 meter LED strip mounted at the bottom edge of the window with a dimmer switch mounted in the wiper motor cover. If you do this make note that placement of the LED strip is crucial to achieve the area of coverage you see in the photos. I initially had the strip on the plastic piece at the bottom of the window but that puts it too close to the lip at the bottom which limits the lights throw. I then moved the strip to the window itself right up against the plastic at the bottom. Much better coverage and very clean looking.
Here's a link to the thread with a full write up. I pretty much followed it to a tee right down to ordering the exact same light strip and connectors.

So we bought the full blown Gaia GPS app on Kellie's phone and we love it. The only downside was having to hold the phone or constantly be looking for her phone. I decided to fab up a clean mount. I started with this CB mount http://m.quadratec.com/products/product.php?pid=96080+213 I used this mount as a mounting platform for a male 1" RAM mount. I got both of the RAM mounts from Amazon http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B009I...quare+base&dpPl=1&dpID=41c7a8PJ67L&ref=plSrch, http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0059...mount+base&dpPl=1&dpID=41X9rO4lxXL&ref=plSrch. I also picked up an Otterbox Defender case from Amazon for Kellies Phone http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01B6...&keywords=otterbox+defender+samsung+galaxy+s6. I drilled four holes in the CB mount and mounted the 1" male RAM mount with stainless socket button head bolts. I did have to open up the holes in the female RAM mount to help make room for the nuts. I cut the belt clip of the holster and sanded it clean. Once that was done I drilled and countersunk four holes for the female RAM mount in the holster and bolted them together with nylock nuts. The Ram mount allows you to quickly and easily rotate the phone to face either the driver or passenger. Kellie likes it so much she's even started using it to hold her phone when driving daily to work. Next project is replacing the cigarette lighter with a dual USB outlet and a short cable to plug in the phone when it's in the mount. Unfortunately the rest of my photos end up sideways or upside down after uploading them to the site so I can't post them. Hopefully you get the idea.
