Haven't had any time to work on the truck since I got home from work. My wife was out of town for several days for work, so I had to watch the little one. They require 98% attention 100% of the time if you didn't know! Lol

I was able to get a little something made up this morning for mounting the lcq1 though. I decided to put it in the bottom console area instead of the flip lid part. I wasn't too crazy about having all the wires hanging down for the slack to open the lid.







The storage bin tapers down toward the bottom. I just used the rubber mat on the bottom of the bin for a template, and made the board slightly larger than that. It wedges down very snug and sits up about 3-4" from the bottom, so I can run all the wiring underneath it.

 

[DavidRam]

Perfecto! Great place for it!

 

[BradKnob]

Nice, almost like it was made to go there

 

[012RAMbo]

Yea it fits pretty nice. The more I look at it, I may make the board bigger so it doesn't sit down so far. Maybe just a couple inches from the top. I dunno yet. Hoping to get all the wiring done tomorrow and try it out.

 

[012RAMbo]

Wow. That turned into a pain in the ass quick! I worked on this thing from 10 this morning until about 6pm. Every seat was out, and pretty much the whole center console. Got all the wiring ran except for dash speakers to amp. Still haven't been able to play with the settings yet either.

This is when I thought I had my truck apart, boy was I wrong! Didn't get a pic of the whole interior out, but you get the idea.




Can't wait to start messing with this bad boy!

Love stripping out these trucks, by far the easiest seat removal I've ever done.

 

[012RAMbo]

Yea they were pretty simple to remove. The back seats are always a pain by yourself though. I had to use a breaker bar for the back bolts on the front seats, those suckers were on there good.

 

[Etroze86]

Yeah I always grab my ratchet that extends out to 2' for those.

I used my Milwaukee impact, damn I love that thing. It's cordless (M18), but strong as ****!
