    Last night I put the iGo Navigation card into my Stinger Horizon 10. Works perfectly and hooked up the Horizon to my stock GPS Antenna. It took me a while to find the wire. It was not hooked up to my OEM head unit, though the radio did not have GPS. Not sure if someone unplugged it at some point or what.

    Also installed a HDMI/USB plug and hooked it up to my Horizon 10. Works great, plugged my MBP via Xbox HDMI cord and it came up with no issue.

    Timloon HDMI Socket Mount Cable... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07NZNPHH5?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

    Small things but will be nice when I want to put something Via HDMI to watch.

    Beautiful picture, and it answers the question I was curious about. I'd love a SHTF backup in there, but because of children and car seats, the passenger side is rather inaccessible without work, so I'd love to build a smaller unit or one with a folding stock. I've got a pair of the hated black things that have side folders on them, and they work well.

    Oh thank you. It was the best I could do with what I had to work with. Both of these have folding braces and as you can see, they both fit. When I get the foam insert, I may look at different configurations before cutting. This was just a quick layout. But the AK mags stand up on their edge and you can see one in the top right corner so I could put several with it. Same with the MP5. Slings on each wouldn't cause any problems and I believe a couple of small optics would fit fine as well. It's interesting there is that much room in this " long box ". They're expensive but to me it's worth being able to carry that much securely and safely. The box itself is well made and it's a quality product.

    Now to justify it to the other half. And justify building a new one...:rofl:

    Why does everything I like have to involve my debit/credit card so much?

    Now I wish I'd gone that route instead of the ESP bins storage but I could get a bunch of ammo and Government models in there...lolPXL_20250331_011548278.MP.jpg

    Wife surprised me for my bday with much needed new tires!
    Goodyear Wrangler 270/60/20 -----> Bridgestone Dueller Ascent A/T 275/60/20 115T SL
    Knew I wanted bigger tires but didn't want to trim a bunch, no lift and no need for E rating right now. The tire rabbit hole led me to these Bridgestones which seem to fulfill my needs. I like that they're 3PMS and have a more aggressive look but still quiet and not too heavy. Only driven a little so far but they feel good.

    Only bummer is Discount couldn't do an alignment, they said my passenger tie rod jam nut was seized. So I gotta see if I can get it loose myself or find a place that can.

    Same tire and size I've been looking at. Really appreciate your posting the pics.
    May go white outline letters to stand out from my black on black TSS rims which is getting a bit old for looks. Do they ride as good as the Discount Tire reviews are showing? Quiet as well?
    I'm coming off some Pathfinders (Discount Tire Brand that are at least above average that came on the rig...) that have done their job well enough.
    Good luck on that nut! Like others have said: Heat is your friend!

    I’ve been wanting to pick up an induction tool for a little while now. Don’t have much confidence pulling the trigger on the million different no-name brands on Amazon though. I actually asked Project Farm on YouTube to do a video on them lol

    Couldn't get the other post to display properly lol.

    It was good other than the mosquitos. We didn't see a single raccoon or squirrel. We did see dolphins in the mangroves. The other dolphin and the manatees were at the North Beach pier. The snake was at the fort. No..I dont know those people lol. They were there observing.

    Starting my audio upgrade tomorrow morning. JL subwoofer and box are delayed, but no worries. I’ll get everything else done in the meantime. Alpine 10 speaker bundle from Trail Grid Pro along with their Kicker 5 channel amp. Amp rack from sounds good stereo for under the front passenger seat. Subwoofer will be a single JL 10” in a ported box. Head unit is Alpine IXL-F511. Hoping this will be a decent improvement over the OEM amplified JBL system from the factory.

    prob will help just a little, but those OEM units really rock out hard:rockband:




    Just kidding, we all know the OEM is trash, this will be a huge upgrade! Have you done any sound deadening or adding any while you have it apart?
