The Lair

I agree 110% I had their top of the line CD player circa 1997 and it lasted 10+ yrs and went into 4 or 5 different vehicles.

 

I think I had that one too. It was the first with 4v outputs and wouldn't skip at 150db !! I forgot the model #. I actually gave it away this year to a friend restoring a Toyota pickup. CD player was shot but radio was still working!

 

Yeah it had no speaker outputs you had to run amps. Had a decent EQ built in. The only reason I don't have it is the last vehicle it was in got sold with it.

 

Anyone have a good link for simple directions on how to pass wire through my firewall? Hoping to install my front camera kit today.

 

Look for a unused plug on the fire wall my 2013 had one. The factory harness grommet is huge as well so most of my other wiring went through that. May be harder on a 18 and manual trans.

 

I drilled a couple holes into the firewall.

Essentially, what @pmstoy10 did here:

 

What do you fish for Louis?

 

I was inspired by this thread .

Well, I tinted my rear camper window. Overall I’d say I did a 7/10 job, so I’m pretty happy with it. Don’t need it to be perfect since the whole reason I did it was to make it harder to see in my bed. Mission accomplished!!



Before: you can clearly see the fridge there




After: you can only see the fridge if you have your hands cupped to the glass and you’re trying real hard to see in.

Once this dries I may throw another layer of 5% on.

 

Just hang a giant dick poster in front of all your gear. That way if someone does look in there they get the eyeful.

 

better than i could ever do! I want to tint the windows on mine for this reason

 

I wouldn't advise of that...he might come out one day and find his truck was used for a soup kitchen...

 

Or a giant dildo so they get a similar view at all angles.

They’ll not walk away. They’ll RUN!

 

It was a pain in the ass to do. Hopefully it holds, because I may have used way too much soap that won’t evaporate. We’ll have to wait and see if the edges start peeling up.

I like to keep it IN the fridge. Feels great on a hot day.

 

Agree

 

Does @Mobtown Offroad sell replacement hardware for skids?



Custom bent for extra clearance

I must have hit a big curb at the mall

 

Mall crawling lies.

This is what mall crawler skids look like.


Triple reinforced quarter inchers are what you really need for mall curbs.

 

@EatSleepTacos - can I get a antenna cable extension for my HAM radio cable and it not affect the tuning performance of the antenna?

 

I’m sure it would have some effect, but it’s probably negligible. I’m not positive though.

 

Do you have a workman??
