So last Sunday we met up with the guys from Ontario Rat Rods (Facebook page) for there first Rat rod tour. We met up at a pub (about an hour drive from my home) for meet and greet, then went on a 20mi cruise. It was really fun. They parked me on the front lawn of the pub during lunch. Great bunch of people.

NP Jim. It was way more fun than a car show, I have always loved seeing old stuff drive down the road. We are talking about doing it once or twice a year.

So with how much I have been driving the truck this year. My music situation was getting annoying (plug headphone jack into phone, turn on amp, select music and adjust). So I went out and got a sweet deck, no CD. It is half the depth of a regular deck. The amp now powers a 10" sub behind the seat and I mounted the deck in the back of the glove box. Works and sounds great.

Today I finally got to installing the door to floor wind lance. That will stop the one draft I have in the truck. I had them for about a year but I misplaced the steel keepers.

Nothing like good tunes.

OutlawDrifter · 09-06-2017, 05:11 PM

I've been debating on a stereo setup. Looks like a decent solution.

99 to Life · 09-06-2017, 09:38 PM

nice job, I'v always been a fan of hiding the radio if you are gonna have one. unless its an original or close to it.
