Santa came early this year for the big rig. Kenwood 10.1" halo screen head unit and a couple of cameras to suit.

Should do ok providing an output for the lj audio amp and speakers behind it. Got some big plans for the stereo system which is very exciting.

Its been a while since i posted anything. Not to much going on. And excuse the mess but work has commenced on building the slide on work pod for the truck. The majority of its life this is going to be sitting on the truck.

The sheds and mess and im tripping over s**t constantly but it is what it is.

Eventually going to be two 2400x1200x600 tool boxes. 1 with a gullwing door. 1 with roller shutters. Covered space in the middle for compressor and what ever else i want to hide in there.
Total size is 2400x2200x1200.
Cant wait to get it finished and on the truck.

The start of getting serious with the truck.

As most know the ride of japanese trucks isnt exactly fantastic. And the minister for war and finance was getting punished in the passenger seat. So we picked up a second hand stratos seat (new ones are like 6 month lead time) and this is the progress so far.

Always fun taking to a brand new part with a grinder and hoping it fits,but So far so good. Just have to remove the factory sound deadening so i can tack it all up for a trial fit.

Very exciting though and seems like it will fit easy enough.
Keep an eye out for more progress pics as we go.
