Just have another beer Charles and it will be alright.

"Oxymoronic". ........You know when you use words that have more than one syllable, I find it confusing.

That was only 10. Do please try to keep up....

Yo Ward, We decided to take advantage of the recessed area in the rear portion of the tire hump to mount the Powertank. Rob fabricated an additional bracket to tilt the tank.

Until I return home, it's just filled with humid, warm air courtesy of South Georgia.

Sneak Preview ......

 

[Michael B]

Nice!

 

[Gun Runner 5]

A few last minute hiccups ..... I think the previous owners motto was "have wire, will run".
The dome lights / map lights aren't receiving power although there is power at the fuse as well as the wire leading out.
The break lights were intermittent and very dim. The previous owner had gotten creative with the wiring which has now been corrected. Fun, fun, fun....

When you don't want to cut holes in near perfect panels and yet desire more radio volume, there is a solution.
Add, wood, fiberglass and vinyl along with Rob's talent and you have functional yet removable speakers.

Charles,
How did Rob attach the speakers?

 

[cruiserdan]

Blind roofing nails, I believe......

Now that funny.

Charles,
How did Rob attach the speakers?

There are small clips top and bottom (barely visible in the photo) that secures the speakers to the panels.

 

[Michael B]

Very nice work, as usual.

It's all Rob Smith Fabrications. I just make suggestions that he basically ignores.

Those look like 6.5" speakers, did your truck not have factory rear speakers?

It only had the factory 4" speakers in the dash.

Gotcha. I was thinking you might have been able to find the P/N for the factory speaker grills and go ahead and cut into those panels. I haven't been able to figure out why some HZJ77's in the ZX trim don't seem to have them and some do.
