I replaced the battery a while ago, but of course that one failed too, I opted for a Lithium starting battery this time around. At least the battery won't kill itself if it gets drained by the stupid truck. I still need to hook my amp back up as I had disconnected that to help the tiny batteries...
The mdf is around 60 lbs, the fence posts are 20 lbs each, but being cut shorter maybe 12-13 lbs each. So overall around 85 lbs, but since it's all components the heaviest is just the mdf.
I'm 180lbs and I can walk around on it with no flex now.
Update on the cover, still holding up great overall, had a little bit of sagging maybe 3/8-1/2" just enough to bug me. I wanted to keep things simple and light and easy to remove. I kept with the eye bolt attachment and grabbed some steel fence posts that I had laying around and added 1 at the...
I've got 10k on my hybrid and my tires are at 4/32 on the front and 6 in the rear, I think I've got 2-3k left if that. How are you getting 25k out of them?
That is intriguing as I do have a number of old phones laying around. I've found the touch response on the factory screen (and most all stereo screens) to be pretty terrible so that makes me a little more apprehensive. I also have an iPad pro 12.9 that I can also put up there, so if I'm parked...
I have a full aftermarket set up with all new speakers, amp and sub. I might still add an EQ to the mix but I'm pretty happy with my set up. I thought about eliminating the stock head unit and going just the iPad to an EQ and amps, but I wanted to keep the steering wheel controls and dash...
Added a "pocket" to store my iPad mini "head unit" for the stock look, also added some magnets to the passenger side dash. I decided to add the storage when parking for longer times or in places where an iPad might be tempting for someone to break in for. The dash magnets just came to me while I...
I've had mine in my truck since December, I don't miss the tuner. Even if I got a new head unit, the iPad would still go right in front of it. If I need the camera I just pop the iPad out (magnets hold it in front of the screen). But 98% of the time I just look out the back window. I have...
And depending upon your current daily driver/commute length... that $5k might be saved in fuel in less time than waiting for 2023 ordering and build time. Not to mention all your points above.
@Adospeed I'm still loving my setup for the sound, I've been so busy lately that I haven't rebuilt my box, but some time soon. I'm out of town next week but PM the next week and we can meet somewhere and you can hear what I've done with it.
