No sir. I use various apps to download MP3's for free. I then upload them all to my Google Music account so that I have thousands if not tens of thousands of songs in the cloud for free. I can set up playlists and edit my files and then no matter what device I access them from everything is right there. I can stream from a random computer with a web browser or via the Google Music app on my phone. I then pair via Bluetooth and there's all my tunes. If I'm driving in the morning I'll actually stream radio to my Kenwood via an app called Tune In. The reason I do this because if I turn my truck/car off and go into a store or something it will cache the radio station from that point and when I come back and start up my vehicle it automatically pairs and continues from that point. I can then skip commercials n shit. Occasionally I listen to radio but I can't stand commercials after a while of downloading/DVRing TV shows and listening to MP3's I've developed a substantial hatred for idiotic commercials. None of that costs a dime and it's awesome. That's how SaK rolls.

Regardless of how long ago you paid you still paid at some point. I can skip (forward & backwards) whenever I want, it doesn't cost me a dime and I don't ever listen to a commercial. No need to use an old phone and have two devices running when your one device, if it's a good one, can do all of the above w/o even breaking a sweat. I wouldn't own a device that can't do basic functions simultaneously w/o it being a big deal. Not sure how Apple remained popular for as long as it has with that glaring omission.

 

Looks good! I just finished up mine this weekend, .25 on all mounting and 10 ga like you on the rest. Came in at 100 lbs, but I cutoff 30 lbs worth of crossmember.

 

I've got other sources for new music and listen to those when at home. If you have a buddy who has music you've never heard of before it's even out that eventually becomes a popular hit... that's probably me.

I use the cheapo universal mounts these days and it's nice to not have to throw it all away whenever I buy a new phone. I used to buy custom brackets and customer holders sure they fit awesome and looked good but whenever I got a new phone or a new car I'd have to throw out like $50+ worth of mount. Universal FTW!

BTW, weight will be your issue with trying to mount a larger device like that. You'll need to secure beyond your typical tension cradle somehow so it doesn't fly out all the time.

I'm interested. I've been eyeing plate bumpers for years now but can't justify the price tag when my fugly chrome one works just fine.

Welcome!


Sorry for all the replies at once and answering posts from days ago as I've been in the wind for a few days and I'm going out of town tomorrow so not sure how much I'll be on for the next week or so.

 

Damn that looks good!

Nice work.

 

I spent Saturday plundering the internet for some noise. No pandora for a while. BTW if you have adblocker on chrome there are no ads. Nice if you are at work or for a party.

 

I use Chrome and Adblocker but that doesn't stop the audio commercials/advertisements on most streaming music options. My buddy uses Pandora and I was at his place a while back working on some stuff and he was streaming Pandora. A commercial came on.. in Spanish. At some point his commercials started playing in Spanish which is even more annoying than being subject to commercials in English. I wouldn't recommend Pandora either. Google Music does the same thing only no ads, no commercials, no interruptions and way more control over what music you hear. They also have a streaming function similar to Pandora, spotify or those types of services if that's your flavor.... all in one program.

 

Thank you sir!

 

You're welcome. Now make me one.

 

I've been getting those stupid spanish commercials too on Pandora. Annoying. Are either one of those you mentioned an app? I use Pandora to play in my truck.

 

Awesome work!!!!

 

This is my idea for a rear bumper (sorry for the crap quality, I took a picture of an informal sketch). THere is a few things I need to change based on taking actual measurements and actually looking at the truck (which I didn't when I was drawing it, I was drinking beer and sitting inside).

 

No spanish for me! Maybe you listen to too much mariachi music

I thought you had to pay for the google music...

 

So this was my jeep...

Want...to do.


I also found out today that since I placed second in the shooting competition I entered, I qualify to go to the national competition next summer in Nebraska.

 

Holy shit, that looks like a blast!

 

Dad and I have been looking into renting a trophy truck to race around in. Hopefully soonish.

 

You should race that red burnout machine.

 

nice!! congrats

 

That looks kind of what I want, just don't know if I want a tire carrier cause I already have one. I also want to be able to tow with it. So the hitch part needs to be heavy duty. But that drawing is damn good and damn close. So for all this I am presently on ativan.
