Worthless w/o mic and correct antenna

ANNNNNNND... there's that.   

Triple Yoy!!! 









Get rid of the gangsta numbnut wheels, and put a Dodge 2500 suspension under it, and you MIGHT have something...   

Especially nice for a WI truck!

Oy!

So somebody had this shipped to Europe (judging by the license plates on other cars in the distance), to advertise his tattoo shop...     But WHAT kinda tire carrier is THIS?!?!?

Were that not putting them on the dashboard by the bottom of the windshield then? 

IF you're gonna off-road, bring ENOUGH truck!  This is WHY we own RC's - so we don't HAFTA haul a mobile home with us!

Using an ungodly amount of fuel was an O2 sensor problem for me about a year ago.

Hmmmm... I HAVE a new O2 sensor for mine... but it hasn't been installed.  MIGHT explain that 6 1/2 mpg city mileage... 

Was looking at something ELSE, and came across this piece of classic kit!!!

We replaced the fuel pump, and EVERY inch of fuel line in the entire truck - much of it now STAINLESS tubing.  My 4wd mechanic even fixed a couple of leaky spots, that my Monro Muffler man overlooked... and yet I still get whiffs of gasoline as I work on it and drive it.  NOT even so much as a drop on the pavement... but you can SMELL it... SOMEWHERE... 


Not sure if it's a factory problem, or a dealer add-on...

I worked with this Project Mgr. and Supt. Both are okay.

That DOES make a BIG difference...

It'll be a couple weeks, but it will happen. I'll be in Texas City at Marathon. More than that I don't know.

Heh, heh, heh... a couple of days there, and you'll be wishing you were back with those cool, gentle, KS breezes again!   

And be careful with those French cargo ships... 

Seeing as how it started THIS week, 100 years ago, it seems meet, right, and salutary, that we mark this anniversary, as ONLY we can, here at RC.net... 

Don't know how the various "trim levels" of RC's played out with speaker placement.  I do know MINE came with "premium sound" (the previous owner KEPT the original window sticker/build sheet  ), although that didn't include the optional cd player for 1992, which was TRES expensive at the time.  The 6" round door speakers are easy enough to upgrade (I have 150 watt Alpine 2-ways now), but the factory rear speakers are 5x8 - an oddball size, in any era (BTW... I have the FACTORY speakers and grills out of MINE, if anybody needs them.  They work fine, but they're not my cup of tea in a NON-rotisserie restoration.  I also have the factory premium radio (AM/FM/cassette/equalizer) if anyone's interested - it works, too).


You CAN wedge a 6x9 in there if you like - on the cheap - thanks to these little doohickies!

In fact, they're STACKABLE, like Legos, in case you need to build up some space for the magnet to fit.  I bought 2 pairs off fleabay (just in case) although you CAN mount 6x9's over the 5x8 opening with JUST one spacer each.  I have an extra set, in case anyone needs them.


I think I posted this in my RC thread, but here's two videos on my recent stereo upgrade!

http://vid212.photobucket.com/albums/cc305/The_War_Wagon/Ramcharger/Stereo1_zps87a7bcd8.mp4  (Surprised by a church lady at the end!  )




Thing is, I bought these speakers and a Pioneer head unit (I sold the latter a couple of years ago - gotta Kenwood to replace it) back in late '06... and I finally got it ALL installed, THIS month.


Listened to it twice... decided it needs more bass.     I've been spoiled the last 3 years with my Jeep Commander, which came with the Boston Acoustic premium sound package; tweeters in the dash, 7" subs in the front doors, & mid-range in the rear doors.


Homey's a little long in the tooth for thumpa-bumpa (c)rap music    - the CLOSEST I'd get to THAT, might be the Beastie Boy's "Sabotage."  But when I listen to AC/DC's "Thunderstruck," I think I'd like to hear a little thunder WITH it (that's on my first, special-purpose CD of "Ramcharger Music, Vol. I," that I burned exclusively, for when the RC finally had a stereo system.  MOSTLY, it's tornado-chasing music  ).


That said, I have a spare amp, that is technically not bridgeable... but I'll FIX that.     And I have a stereo pre-out specific FOR subwoofers with the Kenwood, and I've already run the wire.


So I'm torn between these...  http://www.adorama.com/PYLPLQB8.html?scpid=37&scid=scsho6143593&utm_term=Other&utm_medium=Shopping%20Site&utm_campaign=Other&utm_source=dealtime


And these... http://www.pyleaudio.com/sku/PLTAB8


I like the former, because I think they'll better provide the sound I like.  I like the latter, because I think they'll mount more easily - forward facing - above the rear wheel well - and compromise less storage space in the back.  That, and they're already amplified, which is one LESS set of holes I hafta drill, in order to mount another amp.  Oh, these first world decisions... 


At any rate, either set should give me enough bass to make for a nice, well-rounded sound in the truck - whether I'm listening to Metallica, the Kruger Bros., or the soundtrack to Sherlock - seasons 1, 2, or 3...
