The Sax Hauler: S/C'd TRD Pro lux truck

some badass pics man. you’re truck is looking good too

 

Wow, that place looks incredible! I'll have to visit next time I'm visiting my cousins.

 

If you'll be anywhere near Orlando CA you def should. It's nuts.
They said they're building a new & improved location nearby and plan to move in a month or so. I offered to help drive some cars over...

 

Yah, my cousin lives in Corona.
Hell, if they needed help driving cars over, I'd fly out for that!

 

Learned something new today: how to fit a 13.5 foot long railroad tie in the short bed

Rear traction 10/10
Departure angle 0/10 would not recommend offroading

Last weekend I took some photos of a friend's Corvettes to help him sell them. Just check out that good looking truck in the background though

1956


1961


1964

 

Damn that bottom vette!

 

$2 hose-clamp mod for maximum tailgate anti theft protection. Sub & amp should be within the next couple of weeks.

Also pictured: the latest restoration project, 45 hours worth of bringing this gem back from the dead. It has a sterling silver neck, pearl inlaid keys, and elaborate engraving. Made in 1941.
The case was a bit musty and spent many days sunbathing in the Taco bed.

 

Someone's been asking about my A/C seat mod so I did a writeup that basically nobody will ever use:

Um what’s the blue wire do again?

 

Just finished some major upgrades in the lux truck:

* JL Stealthbox with 10TW3-V4 sub and JL 500W amp
* Kenwood head unit
* Kicker Key 180.4 amp for the Focal speakers
* Front camera
* Remote start

The sound system is incredibly well tuned (the Key amp auto-sets it really nicely) and it all sounds so good I’m taking the long way home lately just to listen to music.

Here’s the box behind the back seat


The headunit is killer with CarPlay AND lets me see the front and rear cams whenever I want. The front cam is MONEY — I trail tested it today on a road with some steep nose-up spots and I’m not diving blind over the hill anymore


Plus let’s be honest, it’ll be super useful at the mall to help me avoid nearby carts, curbs, children, etc

 

I’m starting to think I may go with a full aftermarket system instead of the OEM Audio+ kit.

 

I’m a musician but I’ve mostly listened to podcasts the last few years cause I haven’t been excited about any music. This system changed it and made me fall in love with music again. For real. The $$ adds up quick but it sounds SO GOOD!

 

Running all those wires within the cab scares me. Plus I may have an OCD breakdown with trying to manage all of it lol

 

I hear you, I bailed on this one and outsourced the labor to the good shop in town

 

@Slvr44 nice to meet you tonight - see you around the neighborhood!

 

For sure it's kind of crazy that you live just a couple streets away.

 

Do you have a link for your front camera? Also where did you end up mounting yours at?

 

Not sure which cam it is, it’s just the one they had in stock at the local car audio shop.

I stuck it right down here so you don’t see it unless you’re looking for it:
