Talking So, Got Bored A Couple Of Hours Ago, Right.....

Went inside my truck and rip my center dash face apart:



Then I ripped my CB radio off from where I had previously installed it.



Then I took the strip which houses my park beeping thingy and the cigarette lighter and cut it in 3 pieces.





Then I took the center dash's face and cut out the supports and place 2 pieces of plastic strip back on to it.





Then I re-installed my CB radio on it










Tomorrow, if I don't die from this back pain, then I'll install the cigarette lighter here:







So after boredom got the best part of me I went from this







To This:












OKAY, now I need to go to bed and rest my back, awee

For those of you who don't know why my back hurts relate to thread: https://www.f150online.com/forums/of...me-more-2.html

Dude, you have 120 household outlets in your truck. Please tell me you do not have 12v cigarette lighters installed in your kitchen walls.

Hell I'm bored and can't sleep, but I'll be damned if I'm going to go work on my truck.

Awesome! Great idea there.

Yea, you do have A LOT of switches. Do you need extra batteries under the hood to support all that aux?

Finally I found a place to mount power outlets. I never thought about doing it that way. I have an inverter, I just dont have the outlets mounted because I couldnt find the way that would look good. Looks great man!

As I mentioned b4 I haven't tested the sound on the CB Radio but since the speaker is now buried, I can certainly assume that my sound will not be all that good.

So, I was in my truck this morning contemplating where to add a couple of speakers and after a couple of minutes it dawn on me......

I saw this area in front of me and said to myself "hmmmm........"



Then I took the CB Radio Apart and removed the speaker....



Went back to my truck and placed it at the area I spoted a few minutes b4, placed the speaker on it and said, "mmmmmmm......I like that!"





I'll report later with the results.
