PennSilverTaco's "Perfect 5-Lug Regular Cab" Build, Aspergers, and General BS MegaThread!

I'm 6'5 250lbs and I fit fine in mine.

 

Man there are some big dudes in here. If I'm in a bar fight I want all of you backing me

 

He didn't have the engine in it yet. He just had the truck all torn apart liked it had been stolen and gone through a chop shop. I saw a video of a V8-powered Cub Cadet riding mower once.

 

If you have a 6-lug they will be "lift blocks". 5-lug and they are in fact lowering blocks.

 

imagining in progress......................................I'd be happy with 4.0l oem v6 with 6 speed in my RC.............

 

6'3 210# not a fatass, just average. I fit perfectly in my regular cab. I even have the bench seat forward two or three notches to reach the pedals better. I don't ever sit in the passenger seat though, so there's that.

 

With this discussion having devolved into scrotum size, I am tempted to post a picture from my parasitology textbook. I'm not sure whether that would be a violation of the TOS.

However, if you are curious, go to Bing, turn off Safe Search, and look at images of elephantiasis.

 

At 6'0 and 200lbs I was not comfortable in my 06 AC. Forward visibility was an issue, it seemed like I was eye level with the top of the windshield. My key fob bounced against my knee constantly and the arm rest and console were too low. If anyone ever moved my seat it was difficult to find the sweet spot again.

Every Toyota truck I've owned has been the same way. I drive a KC Frontier now, I'm a lot more comfortable in it because the cab is physically taller from frame to roof.

 

5'11", 250lbs, very comfy!

 

What Def Leppard song were you listening to?

 

Pour Some Sugar on Me of course! That's a classic!

The head unit is a Sony XAV-W650BT, installed in September 2016, with a Pioneer TS-A1305C component speaker system installed in April 2013. The system was initially all Pioneer, but I decided I wanted a backup camera and upgraded to a touch-screen double-DIN unit three years later. I got a Sony instead of another Pioneer because no comparable Pioneer head unit had a front USB or AUX inputs. The system has no subwoofer or external amp, and back in 2013 when I initially had it installed, my $240 stereo in my $15,000 truck put the factory system in my buddy's brand new $50,000 Touareg diesel to shame.

Another guy I know has a 2012 Audi Q7 with the standard system (not Bose or Burmester or whatever the hell upgraded sound system in an Audi is). Again, my truck cost $15,000 new and has about $600 in the stereo. It puts the factory stereo in a $50,000+ Audi Q7 to shame!

With what my dad paid for the truck new back in 2009, combined with all the stuff done to it over the years (some paid for by me, some by my dad), I'd say we still have less than $20,000 total invested. The truck is completely paid off too!

The total uninstalled cost for the head unit and speakers in the initial all-Pioneer system was $240. I bought head unit and speakers on Crutchfield. The custom tweeter brackets from Taco Tunes were $30 for a set of two. I initially paid my friend $100 to install the stereo, but had to pay him another $50 the following week to install the crossovers neither of us thought would be needed. So, that's $420 total. Not bad at all.

This is the current system price breakdown (not including what I paid my friend to install the original all-Pioneer system in 2013):

Sony touch-screen head unit: $280
Pioneer component speaker system: $110 (back in 2013)
Clarion backup camera kit: $100
Clarion-specific license plate mounting bracket for backup camera mounting bracket: $25
Taco Tunes custom-made tweeter brackets: $30
Total: $545 (including the speakers installed back in 2013) plus the cost of a 12-pack of Mich Ultra I bought my neighbor for helping me install the Sony head unit and backup camera. Again, not bad at all!

Video from February 2016 with old single-DIN Pioneer head unit but same speakers; filmed with Nikon D5100 in 1080p; Great White and Dropkick Murphys, and 93.3 WMMR...

Video from January 2017; Filmed with iPhone 4S (The song is "Anthem (We are the Fire)" by Trivium. I first heard the song on the in-game car radio in a video game I have called Sleeping Dogs. I like this song, but I am really more of a classic rock kind of guy. My primary reason for having this song on my iPod is to demonstrate my stereo to family, friends, and curious passersby)…

I know that song.

 

It probably doesn't sound as well on my iPhone speaker.

 

6-01 and 200 lbs. I fit perfectly. Plenty head room and the seat isnt even pushed back all the way.

 

I filmed it with an iPhone 4S but it is a 720p HD video.

 

Wow do they still make those? Or have you somehow restored one to work in the 21st century?

 

6'2" & 230lbs, only issue is that the rearview mirror gets in my line of site sometimes when I am pulling out of the parking lot at work. Otherwise, I fit just fine!!

 

My mom gave it to me when she got a new iPhone. I've been trying to make it last as long as possible. I'm very tech-oriented, but having the latest phone isn't something I particularly care about.

 

Listening to this on a Klipsch 2.1 PC speaker system. I think your phone's mic is probably limiting the sound quality. I hear no bass, for example.
