Hello Mud!
I've been a long time lurker and finally got my hands on the rig I've been looking for. A night shadow pearl blue cruiser with grey interior. Truck does not have lockers, however it's not a big deal as this will be more of an overland general camping/DD vehicle. First steps will be to clean up the interior and make it more comfortable for the long hauls and daily drives. Then on to more Offroad ready mods. Currently has 218K on the clock, and has many pieces of the drivetrain rebuilt and serviced, so hoping it'll be ready for quite a few more miles. Truck came with an ARB bumper and Warn 9000lb winch and synthetic rope. Also has some 33" BFG AT tires. I was surprised with how quiet this thing is going down the highway. Much quieter than my lifted Subaru Outback which also has BFG AT tires.
Right out of the gate I wanted to get some beer sound and connectivity in the vehicle, so I wired up and installed a Sony XAV-AX3000 head unit. Already it makes driving much more enjoyable.
I then wanted to make sure that I was keeping everything monitored so I installed an Ultraguage monitor. So far it was a super easy install and the monitoring functions are great.
I ended up using the horizontal mount that I had ordered and was able to get it moved around so it would work in the vertical position. The windshield mount is pretty useless in these vehicles. It is much too long, using the unit out nearly parallel with the steering wheel. Opted for this location as I was not planning on putting anything else here and made for a simple routing of wires.
