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.

99 to Life · 09-13-2017, 11:58 PM

Ya well I have tried over and over, I still cant work with wood. Having someone build it will get it built so much faster. COE sure I would love to take it home and work on it!! Wait are you giving it to me?

lower50's · 09-14-2017, 03:08 PM

Today was a lot of back and forth with the skid steer, with the occasional tamping. 8 of these bins of top soil out and there will be 10-12 tri-axle of A-gravel in to get grade. They have to go a long way through my garage. They should be done filling and packing by the end of today.
