    Yeah, overuse and the red button collapses in on itself. Still useable but just a pain to click the seatbelt into the latch. Greys are obsolete but supposedly tan is still available.

    Yep.

    Make my own qlogic style setup. 6, 8 or 10... or even a square.

    I love playing 'Car Explody'. Save every nut and bolt I can. Plus it really helps me learn how that model is put together which makes repairs that much easier. I can take apart Subarus blind folded at this point.


    I wanna do something similar. Love my bass but also like my storage space.

    that tiny storage place is almost useless. Bass is way better.

    That came out so good!
    How's it sound?
    Reminds me I still have to chase the issue with my subwoofer. I started on it last night but ran out of daylight and energy. But removed the seat and checked both fuses on the amp. Both good. Prior I had only checked the fuse at the battery. So I'm thinking the next step is to remove the sub and check connections inside the box.

    Sounds amazing. Much better than I had anticipated. Much better than the original box it came in from crutchfield 30 years ago.

    The long dog needs a comfy place to lay.

    I'm calling the entire rear of the cab storage. I plan on putting an old MTX 8000 10" in the the storage box. I may be able to get a 3D scan of the cubby.

    Stereo is a bit down the line for Eugene though. The trans failure really set me back a bunch. Getting this rig reignited the passion.

    You should check out some people's rear seat deletes. I know @Sirfive made a wooden dog platform for his ridgeback, Polo. Lots of others out there with extra storage built into them.

    Mine is basic AF. Just a wooden sheet along the back wall. I've mounted my sub box and fire extinguisher to it so far. But I need to finish it with some insulation on the backside and sub box carpet on the front. Then mount my jack and some tools to it.

    Only pic I have of it.

    The parts truck has something similar. I don't see a reason to get rid of the seats really. I can shove some serious bass in the negative space.
