Cool glad it helped. I find them perfectly decent because with those settings there's no obvious annoyances or terrible additions. It's not like it sounds amazing but I can listen without feeling irritated which has always been my standard for playback. My threshold changes depending on the...
Personally I'm confused by the many complaints about the stereo. I have the non-b&o and with +2 bass, +1 mid and -1 treble I'm pretty happy with it. I'll be upgrading to an active dsp system eventually, but for now I think it sounds pretty good.
And I am an audiophile, my home system is worth...
One of mine is a meremma, awesome dog, strange, but awesome.
So what I did was:
Set both front seats to as far back as they will ever need to go. I'm 5'8" so my dogs get some nice space.
Measure from there to back seat. That's your bench width. Make the boxes a fair bit narrower so they fit in...
Next, The Tin Can
This handsome devil is a 1960s aluminum bed hauler. Basically like the first teardrop. It's 11"*6'*4.9'. probably weighs about 500lb or something. I can move it around myself without much trouble.
The purpose is to have a comfortable bed and a kitchen without having to tow...
First, Sam (gamgee) The Maverick
So, I've got an Alto blue 2.0 4k and I bought a awesome little trailer to it with.
I thought I might start a little build diary for both. There's going to be more trailer in here since it needs more.
Done so far:

Wondering what a good product for the fabric on the doors would be. Also the headliner. Would scotch guard work? The doors are kinda strange so I'm not sure if I should treat like a fabric or not.
I should really protect the headliner too, my dogs get dirt everywhere
I'm feeling confused, I just got back from my shop and we tried some 245/60/18 snow tires and they rubbed at full crank.
Seems tonnes of people are running 245/65/17 which is the exact same size and everyone claims no rubbing.
What's the deal? They were definitely hitting the liner and like my...
Ok I'm impressed. Did the whole process using liquid crystal and it really, really is worth the time and money.
Here is a pic after 400+km driving yesterday with lots of gravel roads, rain etc...
Not having the constant layer of dust on the bottom half of the car is gonna make me really happy.
I had very few issues the first couple of weeks and now constant issues. Android auto barely works. I have to skip 3-4 songs between each one that works. Odd. Sometimes the first 5 seconds plays then it stops. To me this is a big deal, I listen to music 12-17 hours a day. I can't drive without...
One more basic question, what is recommended to use for interior cleaning/upkeep? I get sand and dust and dog drool. I have 303 protectant but not sure I should use that for 'cleaning"...
Really appreciate all the advice, you're a credit to your trade.
Definitely will do the very best prep I can. I don't intend to do paint correction on my 2 week old truck, come what may...
Just read this entire thread and I'm inspired. Hope it's not too annoying but I want to outline my plan to make sure I'm not doing something silly.
I'll be working outside. No access to a garage.
Wash carefully using p&s pearl shampoo
Mother's cmx surface prep
Adams rust remover

Plasti dipped and installed a sportrac tailgate I already owned. Did my favorite colour, I would do the whole truck this colour with orange wheels if I had the cash. Sad I didn't manage to get a cactus :(
I wanted to test it against the alto blue before getting rims powder coated and I...
Just tried my 100+lb meremma and 80lb golden mix for the first time and they seemed totally happy. Both can lie down comfortably with room to spare.
I'm relieved because they kinda run the show and this truck is our little adventure/camping/road trip vehicle so they f the dogs made a fuss my...
I had Baltic birch plywood around so I used that for the boxes. Did a little lip on the bottom to keep stuff from rolling out too easy and then sprayed with plastidip. I bought craft felt from dollar store to line the inside for dampening.
The top I used a piece of pine I had and an old yoga...
Yeah I have the hammock style. Hopefully that helps trap all the sand and muck they drag everywhere. The active x seats seem perfect for me, they do seem tough...
