    I have the Husky ones. They are beefy and flexible, work great. Just have to drill holes in them to mount them since they are universal, but it's easy to do.

    I had them on the front too, but removed them because I got tired of rubbing when turning after a lift.

    Thats freaking awesome! I love how it all fits behind the seat too. I have been wanting to do a second battery setup for my fridge but want to retain the rear seat too. I am totally stealing a lot of what you did. Thank you and great work!

    @Buzzkill657 sounds like you dont know if youre coming or going!! My life definitely is NOT that complicated..kids are grown, no grandkids yet, retired from the USAF, and took another job as I was going nuts sitting around the house...Time is absolutely a luxury I enjoy and have extra! Good luck buddy!! Like to see pics of the house too! Built my house down on the Gulf Coast..what an experience!

    Replaced my old Pioneer with a new CarPlay version. Made it wireless by adding a Carlinkit adapter. Naturally Pioneer changed up the harness so had to redo wiring. :censored: Somehow in the process lost by backup camera video. :censored: Need to update my radio controls from the steering wheel. Overall happy to have CarPlay and a functional cd player again. Yes, I still use cd’s. Physical media is superior to digital…change my mind.

    I highly recommend it! Easy place to get wires in/out of the cab going through the back or the plug underneath. Good luck and hit me up if you have any questions!

    IDK my usb music is excellent quality. It never skips if I run over a bump. Bottom line is ANYTHING beats listening to the radio. XM and Pandora are pretty good but I hate when someone switches mine to regular FM music. Just can't adjust it enough for quality sound.

    I haven’t had a cd player skip since I had a portable cd player….yeah I’m that old.
    I use Spotify for streaming but still prefer physical media. My home system is much better plus it gives me the option to spin some vinyl (which is my preferred method).

    I used to be big on the home system. Now my garage/shop houses my home stereo/cd/dvd/surround system. I even have high dollar Omega floor speakers and a Klipsch 12" sub, with 6 total speakers, in my garage. When I watch movies out here the whole garage rattles. When I am working I usually put on something like an Alice in Chains Unplugged dvd and crank it. I might be in my 60's but I do like to rock the house. Now we have the small discrete all-in-one cd/dvd/surround/sub units in the house. Wife hated having the component system in there. No more turntables. Vinyl is something I really miss. I moved from NC back to VA in the mid 90's. In the process I lost over 90 albums from early Dylan, Rolling Stones, the entire Beatles collection and an entire Pink Floyd collection. Even my collection of classic Cheech and Chong records. Not a single scratch on any of them. Someone made out when they found those boxes. Lived in a big 2 story house with tons of hidden closets and attic cubbies upstairs. Apparently I forgot to check all those spaces. Was months before I realized it. :rockband:

    On the 4x4 Limited it did… as far as I know. I hate cloth seats unless it’s a race car, and the Limited was the only level that had leather and heated seats … so

    Nice! Have a 2 channel as well as separate home theater. Restored Pioneer SX1050 running the 2 channel setup with Technics 1600 turntable and Dalquist M905s.

    bummer on the vinyl. Have current collection sits at around 240.

    15+ year old cheap ($280 new) SONY DGR710 with discrete 6 x 105 watt channel amp. Think was one of the 1st with HDMI and XM. Oldie but goodie. Still cranks. That 10+ year old Klipsch sub makes my rib cage rattle. Best sub I ever heard.

    I have Rockblockz on my truck and really like them. Easy to mount, durable, flexible and they look great.

    That's pretty neat. Must've been the 2.5 gens. I have an 07 base model so wouldn't know of all the cool stuff that came in these trucks.

    While I had them off replacing everything figured I'd touch them up. Hit the rust off with a wire wheel after this picture.
