Looks Great Marv!

I like the console swap...does it have a locking compartment like the jump seat had on the bottom?

I use that locking compartment often when I need to hide some items.

 

I just did the GDO on the roof console, which I like very much...no more remote taking up space in the cab.

Oh forgot to mention the bedrug liner is great too! I made some wooden stoppers (corner square pieces) with velcro on the bottom to stick to the rug and hold items in place. Works great and easy to use. When not in use just stick to the side of the bed out of the way.

 

Good Job on the Build!

Thanks RDKILL! Unfortunately there is no locking compartment but there is a company on the forum here that makes a lift out organizer tray that closes off the storage compartment under the lid.

Getting a little work done on the audio system. Sub enclosure is built from all Baltic Birch plywood and there will be an amp rack on both sides. One amp will power left side tweeter/mid/midbass and rear fill, identical amp will power right side, processor and sub amp will go inside console.

Great looking truck! Really like all the small details.

Cant wait to see how the audio system turns out! Been thinking about this for a while.

Thanks! So far I just have the adapters made for the new Hybrid Audio Technologies 2 3/4" mids to drop in the dash as well as door adapters for the 6x9's but I haven't had much time to work on the rest since I've been too busy working on everyone elses systems. I made a couple more changes in plans and will be using a Match 6 channel amplifier with built in dsp connected to the factory headunit as well as adding a cd/DVD player with a custom programmed module that allows audio/video/hdmi input. I also have a new sub enclosure design in mind so I have the other 2 I already built but won't be using if anyone is interested in them. The one shown is all high grade birch built to specs for a JL 10TW3 on one side and a custom tuned passive radiator on the other side.  I also built an identical one for just the 10TW3 mounted in the center and either can be installed alone in the center with a simple mounting platform I made, have an amp rack on each side or be installed behind one seat with a longer amp rack on the other side. (I'll be posting more pics on my Instagram @mrmarvsplace as soon as I get time to put the finishing touches on those and build yet another one!)

Btw, is anyone else seeing quadruple pictures like I am since the forum changed?!

Marv,

 

is your display factory? I have the smaller non-touch but the $1,000 price tag to upgrade will be going to headers or a nice projector headlight.... I really like the sub box though. Great work sir.

    • I think the answer is it's a stock 5.7 Hemi with a 3.0L blower bolted onto it 😉   Practically, because a blower introduces a lot of high pressure, severe thermal stress, and extreme mechanical loads on an engine. Things still need a little time to seat and get used to moving under load.   Sarcastically, because it's a Stellantis/ 5.7 Hemi and those things need all the help they can get!!
    • It's been a little over three weeks since my second knee replacement.  I can now walk around the house without a walker or cane but still have a lot of healing ahead.  This morning I was able to bring a cup of coffee to my wife in bed.  A few days ago, this coffee would have ended up on the kitchen floor!  Knee replacement surgery is very common and will typically enhance the recipient's future quality of life. However, the recovery process can present significant challenges, pain and discomfort. I encourage anyone facing a recommended total knee replacement to welcome the opportunity.  Just be aware that your body may take several months to fully welcome the new parts! 
    • The Germans basically didn't make the list. There aren't a lot of shade-tree mechanics who work on them in general. At some point the economic equation of keeping a car alive favors junking it. Anecdote/experience tells me this is the case versus actual bad engines/engineering. Not that there isn't any, but there are definitely notable excellent examples. The 2.0 diesels will go forever and ever if one keeps the car around it running. The 2.0 gas cars eventually wear out their turbos but the block below it is usually still solid as a rock. BMW inline 6's same thing. Mercedes diesels of yesteryear, not uncommon to see 250k out of those engines, easy.     Link to the synopsis of the study: https://www.iseecars.com/longest-lasting-cars-study
    • 0w20 is recommended in the Sequoia. 0w16 in the Highlander Hybrid.   I think you make a compelling case for both the quality and frequency of maintenance but I wouldn't go so far as to plot a linear relationship between longevity and oil weight 😉   The list is interesting and leaves me with some questions. The Silverado 1500 is 12.9% likely while the GMC Sierra 1500 is only 10.8% likely. Arguably, they're the same truck, so other factors must be influencing the outcome.   The Honda Odyssey ranks #12 at 13% likely. Great. Rest assured we'll never stop hearing about the dang thing LOL.   There's a bit of a spread between the 4Runner (32.9%) and Tacoma (25.3%). Both overlap on the same 4.0 for many years although the Tacoma used a 3.5 for the last 10-12ish. I wonder if that's related to use-case or if it's suggesting the 3.5 isn't quite as up to the task, or maybe something else fails mechanically.   Ram at 3.5% overall likely, but the Ram 3500 holds the top spot on the Heavy Duty Models at 39.7%. One might say the Cummins is a ringer and provides an unfair advantage. I don't think it's fair/accurate to pit the GM Fullsize 1500's in a list with HD's which are basically medium-duty wearing a 3500 badge.   The Tahoe and Suburban hold spots #15 and #8, respectively, on the longest lasting SUV's list. What's the difference? One's got a shorter butt, unless they're also counting the 2500/3500 Suburbans in those numbers.   The GMC Canyon gets a 1.4% increase over its twin brother Colorado. Why, because it's prettier?   SO many questions...
    • Have the aftermarket system removed an re-test.  Its pretty much the only way to know if there is still an issue that is the truck and not from that.
