my crappy install in the s-10 pickup

Post by sglass »

well I guess we'll call this a before shot, the plan this summer is to do the spectar console setup, along with an icom 706.

I used to have the a4 spectra, maxtarc 900, gm300 uhf, saber sva, and a mt1000 convertacom. Decided I wanted moore room in the pick and yanked em out.

Not bad but I think you're in a dire need of a console :)

You guys got it all wrong! The crap on the floor is called "Aftermarket Carpeting". Looks like the floor in my truck before my 'other half' got to it. :D

oh thats nothign guys

I've had diet dew cans and bottle piled up to the seat before. It's a rubber floor-who the hell cares!

Yeah, thats my timeport phone.....it's a few years old but works great.

I plan to do the console thing this summer. I have a vhf a4 spectra, and an a7 uhf spectra to put in there. I also plan to stick in a 900 spectra, a 706, and a saber convertacom.


Maybe a 220 rig if I ever run across a good deal on a couple (dad's a novice).


I guess I could put the saber convertacom behind the seat.

hmmm

I had intended to put the mt1000 convertacom in the back of the blazer, but just haven't gotten motivated.

I am something of an extream neat freak with my suburban. Hell I have a soft car detailing brush just to wipe the dust off the radio console.

I know... its insane.

I love fleet vehicles. You get to tell anyone you loan the car to.. "If you spill anything -- DON'T SPILL IT ON THE SEATS! Spill it in the floor..." 8-)
