Should have went with them but was already ordering a bunch from lmc. I can make it work but just ran out of patients.

I hate the cheapness of lmc for the price you pay. the hog ring pliers I bought from them are absolute dog crap.
Let it relax in the cab and it’s fitting a lot better. Also cut the 7 inches of excess material off it and that helped a ton.
Here is my thoughts behind the seat on the back firewall shoot like 6 or 8 rivnuts into the cab mount this then all my add on stuff… amp sub ecu power block and ground etc.
Thoughts? My dad loved red mahogany so it’s the only place I can think of to put it.

I'd use that somewhere more visible, in your place, not hidden in the truck, plus it looks heavy.
It will be much smaller and probably 1/2 thick. Heavy yes but don’t really care about that. Maybe it will balance the truck more on jumps.I'd use that somewhere more visible, in your place, not hidden in the truck, plus it looks heavy.
I still feel like wood belongs in houses, not automobiles. Some old timers would disagree, that's OK. That's a beautiful piece of wood, I think it should be on display not hidden behind your seat.
If you care about acceleration you do care about weight, but you are not wrong on the woops. The ratio of sprung weight/unsprung weight certainly affects the performance with high speed offroad.

It's a compromise yes, but one I'm willing to deal with. I'm also looming at alternatives to make it look like mahogany to be lighter.
I’m usually not one to do it but my dad always wanted it inside.
That would make a beautiful table top.
If you just want the Mahogany look for your truck you could try a veneer of sorts for a door panel or glove box...
Thinking along the lines of that. We have a really nice local shop was going to measure and see if I can get a quote over the phone.
Another option is to turn a small piece on a lathe and replace the knob on your column shifter. That would look good and feel good, IMO.
I know thinking about placement of another man’s wood…
