Waste of money IMO.

There's a Roadmaster or something like that around that drives around with the trunk popped open with a tv playing on the lid. It says "For The Haters" on it as well.

I get a pretty good laugh every time I see it.

I think it would be cool if you put the wall mount on there. Most of them have brackets that allow you to lift the tv off. I'm not sure I would keep it in the bed all time. It would be really cool for tailgating at football games, or hanging out at the lake or somewhere.

few years ago my brother had a bass truck "super man". it had 4 18's in the bed facing the cab with a huge hole in both the cab and bed with a rubber lining around the gap. when you open the cover and the tailgate it was all carpeted. the three amps were in a triangle order and were "floating" where you could see nothing, no wires, no mounts etc. there was two batteries, one on each side wired in with the front battery. there was a 17" tv that was floating rightin front of the amps. problem was bass hit so hard it would mess up the tv. there was also a power plug in the bed so we would play need for speed during the shows.

anyways, if done right it could be real cool.
