sorry just doesn't seem right doesn't seem fair that's young

 

sorry

 

1987-1988 ..
The ship was only three years old when I went aboard

 

No worrys..Kinda took what you were sayin the wrong way..
My bad..

 

Actually..3rd time..1st time lost kidney and all looked clear..2nd was discovered and had that operated on and during the 2nd it was thought to have intruded into my liver..More scans,blood and yeap..Found a new home..
Oh well my time comes when my time comes be it from natural,bikes,rc aircraft,fallen down stairs or from all the power radiated from the radio mark is gonna make for me lol..

 

Been dragging it around for a couple months now and finally got home long enough to install it. Hiding the power cable behind the dash was a pain.

One thing for sure, it walks and talks and kicks the cat.

 

Niceeeè...Personally i hate a radio there..Blocks that right side corner and fender mirror for quick chks before you make a turn or lane change...
Im makeing a bracket today to mount just under the ctr storage directly above that area on a fl..Ill use the holes already there designed in the truck as mount points..
A benifit is that its outta line of sight when driveing,lotsa air swirling around for cooling and no direct sunlight on the case to cause heat..

 

Worse off out there than me buddy and younger to..

 

I'm a pretty tall guy and I don't run with my seat in Peterbilt mode so I have no trouble seeing my west coast mirror.

I was going to put it in the overhead stock hole but that #### thing is way too long with the heat sink on the back. I'd have had to fabricate a new mount and some sort of cover for the hole. Not to mention the pain of getting power up there.I believe the dash would have to come out to get those A-pillar panels off. When the air is running, it stays nice and cool.

 

Nope..those uprights are only a pull off..all plastic push pin type..Me arse is close to the ground 5'8" so i like a lil air on the highway but nothing in the city..The bounce of the seat with air makes the throttle peddle to jerky..
Here is my idea(not my pic)but ill be useing those holes you see on either side of the radio in the pic as mount points with the bracket im makeing up..
