    Streamable dot com works great. No account needed or anything.

    And I love Pigeon Forge! Used to go there every November in college. Drove up from SC for the weekend with a ton of friends.

    Covid really needs to end. I keep finding more things to do to my truck thanks to TW, ha.

    Over the last couple of days I have:

    -installed the rear diff breather

    -relocated the spare tire hanger

    -installed Meso black out door handles

    -moved my Maxtrax from roof rack to bed rack - yes the Prinsu roof brackets will work on a KBVoodoo rack. You just need to drill some new holes.

    -installed a solar panel on my roof rack

    -routed solar wiring to my bed to recharge a Jackery E500 that'll be running an Iceco VL45

    and
    -changed around my bed rack setup

    I thought about replacing the door handles as well. But the best pricing I found was about $120 for all 4. Meso's covers are $40. They take about 5 minutes to install vs the time to pull apart 4 doors, handles, and cabling for the handles. Meso FTW!

    After a tour in the Navy, I got accustom to 24 hour clocks. I eventually didn't do any conversions, so 2100 hours it's dark out, and 2300 is time for bed.

    ...and 500 hours is probably when you were up, dressed, had chow and heading for duty. I got my learning from watching the TV show JAG several years ago. That show transitioned into NCIS of course which I still watch sometimes. I have great respect for those that serve/ have served in the US Armed Forces.

    Alright doll-face, c'mon and bore me!
    They might not have tv shows, but from what I've heard, the Canadian Armed Forces are no slouches either.

    True. My Dad use to jump out of planes. Why anyone would jump out of a perfectly good plane is beyond my comprehension.

    This is true, and the kicker cs speakers are some bottom of the barrel speakers. But the biggest issue is that people are putting in 3 way kicker cs speakers, and upgrading the tweeters in the dash. This ends up putting 6 tweeters in the front.... 6 tweeters! 4 in the doors and 2 in the dash.

    Kicker series levels
    -Bottom range-
    DS
    CS
    KS
    QS
    -Top range-

    Bottom of the barrel are the stock speakers that came with the truck, compared to them Kicker is drastically better.
    The Kicker route is good if you just want a cheap upgrade that brings the sound system to where it should have been from the factory.
    Though I will agree the amount of tweeters is a bit much but it seems to me that after awhile the tweeters do break in and sound good. When I first installed them I had the high range set to -3 because anything more was wayyyy too much treble, but after a month I have my stock head unit set to +1 high, +2 mid, and +1 low. I think it sounds just like a stock stereo in a $30k truck should sound.

    Of course if you want to get better speakers that means getting an amp to power them and if you get an amp might as well get a sub, now with all those nice speakers you need to Dynamax the truck, but that stock head unit is looking pretty lame next to all the high end components time to upgrade that too. I've been down that rabbit hole before and all it got me was an insurance claim after some asshole decided he wanted my head unit and subs. Now I'm just happy with low-mid range audio equipment that makes decent noise and doesn't attract assholes.

    When I was younger I did extreme car audio systems with custom door panels, fiberglass boxes and amp racks, LED lights. Then for awhile I didnt do any of it, but now I am into stealth car audio. The goal being to make it sound as good as possible without showing anything.
