    Rear window trim is warped?

    Mines not leaking but I do live in the hi desert so not too many opportunities for it to leak. To be honest when I first saw it I thought the same thing. Need to call them and see if my truck is done. We will see. Adam Stephens

    The torx for seatbelts is a T50. For 1/0 you will need to pull outside the channels. Good luck.

    No second battery I just use marine breakers instead of fuses as they are way more simple to deal with if you ever need to work on the system and are usually easier to mount cleanly. In this case a perfect spot right in front of the battery. Power is run down drivers side. The factory wire...

    They are dynaudio esotan 272. The adaptors are steve meade designs 6x9 to 6.5 1/4 abs plates. Cool thing is they are predrilled to the same bolt pattern as the dyns. Screw arrangement, after some minor trimming of factory tabs on speaker hole, is a bit wierd. You cam get one factory screw...
