The Lair

LOL that’s my basement/first floor. It’s a weird set up.

First floor=basement/work area/where the front door is.
Second floor=kitchen/living/dining room
Third floor=bedrooms and bathroom

I have no garage so I do all welding outdoors.

 

Decided to try something new with my “cockpit”. Instead of using my phone I’ll use my tablet for Spotify and navigation. No real reason, but I want to see if I’ll like the larger screen.

 

Those look a lot better than the welder you were previously using. Looking good man!

 

The one reason I hate the big tablets for Nav. is it looks like it's in the way pretty good for the HVAC controls. But in all honesty I haven't seen a set up where on isn't in the way of something in any vehicle. I would love to find a good solution for better nav than my phone since it's such a small screen and my primary camera.

 

Agreed! It’s wayyy easier to lay a clean bead with this thing. Can’t wait to actually weld something. Wish I would’ve waited to make my hammer hanger cross bar.

 

Yeah that’s one of the things I’ll be testing to see if I like it. My other set up was in the way a bit as well and I didn’t mind, so we’ll see.

 

Bring it to Chris' we may could use a second welder there when we do my 63 swap. Ordering the kings, leafs, and AG relocates sometime in the next week or 2. Bill wants to come help also so that'll be 2 very proficient welders there and being able to weld both sides simultaneously would be very advantageous.

 

Better than some I've seen where it's just all up in the way to see out of the vehicle. I was checking out the Lowrance HDS7 that can be adapted to use topo maps for. And it being a primary boating unit there are tons of RAM accessories for it as far as mounting. Also that Magellen TRX7 looks interesting since it does both Offroad and Onroad.

 

Get a Samsung small tablet. Integrate it in the sun visor...... thank me later

 

Do it and make a write up about it after that I'll consider it

 

I actually did it in my ram that I traded for the tacoma. Visors were a lot bigger tho

 

Pics? It does sound like an interesting concept. I mean back in the day they put TV screens everywhere so.

 

Yeah, my F250 in cali had monitors in the visors but you could actually buy the visors that way.

 

Yeah I remember those days when the monitor companies made headrests and visors with them in it.

 

This is what I use...

Pioneer AVH-2330NEX 7" DVD Receiver with Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, HD Radio

Don't trust Amazon's compatibility charts. Cross check the parts on Rock Auto, Autozone, Advance Auto Parts, etc...

 

Good looking welds. Now folks will have to find something to "comment" on.

 

Damnnnnn! Look at you!!! Nice!

 

I think you'll love it! You can download maps from Google for when you're offline too.

 

Wanted to post this here too!

Thank you Skip! I honestly remember seeing the posts a couple back but must have missed this one somehow moving too quickly through the pages! I got so caught up studying that it was so hard to backtrack through so many alerts. I would have never figured it out.

Jaime, Jim, Randall, Adam, Brian and you have really been a huge part of my life here and I greatly appreciate everything we share!

As I said in my TWSS post that earned me the nickname Teddy Bear, the season is not about receiving, it's about giving, and you guys exemplified that, and have since I've been a member here. I know you all have families and you made me a part of them.

Thank you again. <3
