    Summing device question

    Im in the process of building my sub box (Im a total DIYer) and acquiring equipment for my upcoming install in my 11 Scab. Im doing this on the used market, primarily from DIYMA and CACO. If you havent looked, they have some good deals there in used gear there. Now Im down to looking for a...

    Audio wire diagram for my scab

    Thanks Noah. I guess W1N wanted to try a center channel too, so I figured I'd pick your brain about his wiring diagram. I may try the Morel in the center since I already have it. Maybe I'll put it on a toggle switch so I can shut it down if I dont like the results. But its too stinkin hot in...

    Audio wire diagram for my scab

    W1N & Noah, Im in the process of researching out my system and saw by your diagram, you are running the center channel off the OEM amp. I wanted to run the center too, and this would clean up my amp situation. I have a Tru T4.65 amp I will be running active for the front door speakers now. By...

    VFH Roof install

    Skip the silicone seal. Over time, that stuff is not all its cracked up to be for water sealing. Go to any automotive paint supplier (Napa may carry it) and pick up some 3m strip caulk. Its like modeling clay, comes in 1/4" round strips and compressed down when you tighten the antenna. The...

    Audio wire diagram for my scab

    Looks good. Im planning a similar install in my 2011 Scab when the Az heat dies down. Are you building the sub box? pics? Noah would be the best resource here for locations of the summing device. As for Power/ground wire, with only 1 amp, I would think 4 gauge would be sufficient. If in...

    Are the douche bags taking over?

    Im one of those 50+ Raptor guys, and i KNOW what I have - wish I could have afforded it sooner. I'm not in the $200K/yr crowd that can afford all the cool shit out there for my truck, but I surely dont snub others who can afford it. Maybe its an AZ Desert thing, but I get plenty of waves...

    Shoutout for Morrie @ Bakflip

    After doing my due diligence here and a talking to a friend that has one on his pickup, I decided on a Bakflip bed cover. I talked with Morrie at the factory outlet store after the numerous recommendations here and ended up buying a G2. I didn't want a F1 due to what the Az sun does to...

    Reprogramming MFT Sony Head Unit

    Im in. Dont know if this applies to a 2011 SYNC system, but Im curious how this comes out. Are they converting the OEM head unit to have RCA pre amp output jacks? I had heard the volume control was done digitally through the amp. Keep up posted.

    FYI the harbor freight race jacks are on sale

    I think its better dealing with Costco than HF, even if its the same jack. They have a very generous return policy vs. having to buy the extended warranty at HF. I bought a HF low profile 3.5 ton steel jack to use around my house and the threads stripped out of the case on the release valve...

    2011 S cab rear seat removal??

    I checked out your install thread. Looks good. I bought some old school amps back a few years ago planning for a new truck purchase, that was unfortunately delayed for years due to health issues. Now, I found this Scab instead of the S Crew I originally wanted to buy initially. IFFF theres any...

    2011 S cab rear seat removal??

    That would be great. If you come through town, let me know. I'd love to hook up and get some ideas. The ideas I had in mind before I got the truck wont work on an Scab - Amps are too big. On a side note, are you interested in any old school amps? haha.

    2011 S cab rear seat removal??

    Greetings & Salutations, Im getting ready to start my audio upgrade on my 11 Scab. And I have not been able to figure how to get the seat back off. I want to do some sound deadening and see what kind of room is there (I know its tight) to see if I can install am amp back there. I tried Youtube...

    Paint repair - damage

    That sounds like a reasonable price, especially if its a good shop. There may be small dents there too that require filling (hard to tell from a pic). And with any clear coat finish, the whole panel will need to be cleared, even though only the damaged area needs to have the paint spotted in...

    Rear wheel wells

    Im in too. I posted a while back about rear inner fenderwell extensions to keep mud, pine needles, rocks etc. out, especially on the front of the rear fender well. Any dealers for Kaylan or similar product in the US? As for LineX on the inner fenderwell, try a DIY 2 part urethane bed liner...

    Processors - Which one?

    Thanks, Noah. I've been on DIYMA off & on (not much in recent years) for a while now, and it seems the Bit 1 is a popular choice there. How does it compare to the Mosconi unit? I see the Bit 1's on the used market there at reasonable prices frequently (sorry, I'm a cheap bastard). There is a...

    Processors - Which one?

    Morning all, I'm in the research stage of my high end audio install on my 2011 Raptor Scab. I had to rethink everything given the lack of space for amps, subs etc. on the Scab vs. a Screw. But its inescapable that I need a processor to use the factory Sync head unit. Noah, As I recall, you...

    Mud flaps & rear inner fender extensipons?

    Thanks JV. Makes more sense that snakes. HA. I remember them when I was a kid sledding down the hills. Looking back, I dont know how my ass survived! One big rock in the snow could have catastrophic. I'll be looking for some bulk textured plastic that can be used for this purpose and keep...

    Mud flaps & rear inner fender extensipons?

    I really enjoyed my mud romping last weekend, and the clean up isnt that big of a deal, except all te mud that gets in to the front bed cross member. A little plastic that extends to the fender edge on both sides of the wheel will make it that much more fun to get it dirty. Guess I got spoiled...

    Mud flaps & rear inner fender extensipons?

    Thanks y'all, those flaps do look pretty good and FUNCTIONAL. Found their website. Are they the same for front & rear or did I miss something? Any thoughts on adding ABS plastic to the rear inner fender wells? Especially in front of the tire? Looks like it shouldnt be that hard to do, just...
