Wanted to let everyone know to double check your channels with the XM plan you have if you subscribed after the free trial. I was in my father in-laws truck and noticed he had way more channels then I did even though we had the same truck and same XM plan. He purchased his used and I got mine brand new but the same year and same options so thought maybe it was an update or something I was missing. I found that in the settings we have a spot to turn on parental controls for explicit content which blocks a bunch channels . After checking with a few buddies who have new T1's and some people at work, they all have this turned on which reduced the channel selection. I don't know if these come from the factory this way or if its something dealers around here are doing but anyone who has XM should definitely check.

Seeing as you're from Michigan I would take the snow into consideration. I had a set on my K2 and loved them until winter hit. Once you do a bit of driving on the highway and that slush builds up and freezes they become a pain. I had them freeze solid on me a few times and they wouldn't actuate open. I found myself at the coin op car washes a few times a week trying to clear them off.

Has anyone had any issues finding dust, dirt, water or anything like that while doing this? I live in Canada and a bit nervous doing this mod and having the salt or brine just eat the hell out of everything. I was thinking if I cant go this route maybe I can install a boat tower speaker somewhere in the bed and get kinda the same result.

I know I will catch some crap for it but I am one of the guys who dont like ethanol if I can help it. The shelf life of ethanol-free gas for long term storage is way better so I usually fill my truck and gas cans up at the same time. Years ago I found a site that shows who is ethanol-free and usually try to get it from a place on the list. https://www.pure-gas.org/

You could always look on Craigslist and see if anyone is selling the OEM rubber floor. I was looking for tow mirrors and stumbled upon a guy selling his rubber/vinyl floor for $100. There have been a few popping up here and there if you don't mind the work of throwing them in.
