Sounds like a race truck alright, better get headsets.

Sure hope I can beat a Hyundai.

Late to the party, but yes, you can hear everything with the console lid closed. I run Rugged Radio VHF RM 60 and 696 intercom. I've only gone on one run, and although I brought the headsets, I didn't use them. Driving for upwards of 8 - 10 hours a days, would probably given me a headache wearing them that long. (Pic of set up).

That's what my buddies with more purpose built prerunners and buggies have said, it gets tiring and annoying wearing the headsets. I'd avoid them if I could.

I ended up going with a refurbished Kenwood from PCI. Can check out the install on my build thread.

Nex Gen 2 Build

I am starting this thread to keep track of the build on my 2018 lead foot gray Gen 2. I just picked up the truck 2 days ago and have found out that it already has Geiser front springs and Icon rear leafs. The truck currently is sitting on 37" BFG all terrains. It also has King bump stops, Borla...

I have similar setup and wondering how to pipe the fm radio/satellite radio through the intercom to headsets. Were you able to do that or just play music Bluetooth from your phone? We do alot of Mexico trips so phones rarely work and satellite radio would be nice playing in headsets.

I don’t “think” that’s possible? But I don’t know for sure? I have XM so we just listen to that.

Thanks. Does your xm setup have Bluetooth signal that connects to intercom?

You can bluetooth from your phone using the SXM app. I use it all the time. Headphones, OBS radio, speakers in the house.
