    ...too much shit to list.
    What's the cigarette lighter power rated at? Will you ever use the cigarette lighter at the same time? Personally I never tap power off anything except to power a relay/switch.

    Half way done with my rear wall.

    Got the BXT II down, just need to cover it with Ensolite now. Quick question to anyone that's used Raamaudio products. On the "how to" section of Rick's website it says to cover the rear wall 60-80% with BXT II. Before applying the Ensolite he says, "test the rear wall by tapping on it with your fist... if it still resonates then double it up across the middle section (below the holes for the clips and above the brackets for the rear seat bolts)."

    I have doubled it up and quite honestly there's very little difference in resonance from when I tapped on it with my fist when it was bare metal and now, almost fully covered and doubled up in said trouble area.

    Any insight?

    Then went to take the dash apart to replace the gauge cluster bulbs (since this is the first below 90 degree day since last winter)...and realized that I couldn't get the three switches on the left side of the steering column out of the dash panel :frusty: Good news is that I got the dash put back together with no screws left over :)

    The previous was a Autozone Fenco, when it failed I did a rebuilt kit that also failed. The one pictured is a ACDelco with the cooler I plan on using.

    I like those ^ I need to figure out some sort of fog lights for winter.

    Spent most of Saturday washing, clay barring, and waxing my new truck just to drive it around today in Sandy. Fixing to drive it around in the snow tomorrow that we're suppose to get. I need to move south.

    Not at all what I wanted to hear.

    Rick, from Raamaudio, has a 96 Tacoma that has won major championships. Granted I'm not going to the extremes he is but in speaking with him I gathered I would gain moderate to pretty good results.

    I hate you, Monte :(
