Dick's Dank Yank Wank Tank

Holding the on and off button in for 10 seconds or so will reboot it. Sometimes it helps. If not bring it in to service. Also it helps setting up the entune account if you haven't.

If you don't have JBL but have Nav. You have the premium audio.

 

I usually do that when it freezes. not sure if I ever setup an entune account....

hmmm dumb question, how do I tell if I have JBL? I have the original sticker somewhere, but wasn't sure if there was more of an obvious sign

 

Better sound and JBL badging on the Head Unit and speaker covers.

 

ah don't have the badging.

thanks

 

Good Morning! I'm going to do the Horn relocate and paint stuff behind the Grill. I respect your attention to detail! Thanks for the thorough write up on doing this in your Build Thread.

 

Right on, glad it helped. I'm finding it incredibly hard to take pics and do any write-ups on...anything these days. I always want to, but I simply don't have the time anymore. I try to at least take pics for later write-ups, but it all slows me down when every minute is precious when I am wrenching these days.

 

Subwoofer behind pass rear seat

 

behind the plastic or in it?

 

Behind plastic, you will see a speaker grill on the lower right corner of the plastic

 

Definitely don't have that. Thanks

 

I have an idea to tear all that shit out and put something really cool back there. Really cool. And by cool I mean really useful. And cool.

 

No I just mean the Plastic Bins Of Wasted Space Designed By Someone Who Has Never Owned Or Used a Truck, or PBOWSDBSWHNOOUAT for short.

 

I can only imagine how cool and useful it will be. Very intrigued by this statement. Will be around to see if it goes down.

 

Do it. It's so satisfying getting that crap plastic out of there. Like peeling off an itchy scab or popping a painful boil.

It does increase cabin noise if you don't fill up the space with junk. You can overall significantly reduce cabin noise if you go full @Crom on the rear wall with dampening. I just used all the junk I wanted to store back there as my dampening.

 

lol

Can't wait to see what you got planned.

@CVYota pulled out the plastic bin shit and put in some neat shelving i thought was really slick!

 

Your flip phone collection old man?

 

Hey Ken! I love popping a juicy boil! Yeah, I will definitely do dampening on the back wall. I want to do it around the entire cab. The stereo sounds awful/muddy/reverberatory, and I need to turn it up to overcome noise at higher speeds, the Coopers are louder than the Michelin LTX AT2s I had on the other truck (which I expected), and that is all just dumb. I'm getting to a point though where I have no idea how I am going to get all this shit done.

The suspension has got to be next, because the stock suspension is struggling with the additional 20 lbs at each corner, and the roll and understeer are just lame. So, I was looking at the UCA bolts, and holy crap, they really do run straight into sheetmetal or brake lines everywhere. I guess a lot of guys just lossen them, cut off the bolt heads, and slide them out backward, and instal new bolts from behind, but that seems 1. wasteful and 2. counter to sound physics and mechanics, because if a fastener fails, you don't' want gravity helping it come out and trying to kill you.

How did you and your guy approach that on your rig? I haven't even looked up the writeups/videos yet, but I seem to remember a lot of "just bend the shit out out of the sheet metal," but that's not realistic with brake lines. I also heard removing the battery is helpful, just to gain access and see what the hell you're doing.
