Dang...the angle made it look a lot longer. nvrmnd, no pics thanks

 

since that's a SuperCab, wouldn't the 5.5' box be the short box?

They came in three lengths, 5.5', 6.5', and the 8'....right?

 

What I did today:

I have had a Pioneer aftermarket head unit for a few years. The unit has become out of date, unable to connect to my phone (Galaxy S6) through Bluetooth. I looked into doing Pioneer's Android Auto head unit but the cost didn't seem worth it to me as the unit was limited.

After much research I decided to install a Galaxy Tab 4 (7 Inch) in place of my head unit. Most 7 inch tablets fit great in a double din. There are many ways to do it but I decided to keep my Pioneer head unit in the back powering the tablet through AUX. I found later that older devices do not have digital audio converters built in so I decided to run a bluetooth adapter that plugs in the AUX of the head unit. This ended up saving me the headache of running an AUX cord (Bluetooth doesnt distort like an AUX cord would). I had some trouble running the power but i was able to drill out a section for it. The Satechi Bluetooth Media Button is the key to the setup. The button comes with a wheel attachment and I am able to change songs and adjust volume through the device. I can bluetooth tether internet connection to my phone to the tablet

Apps I Use:

-Spotify (Download playlists for use w/o internet)
-Serious XM
-TuneIn Radio
-Google Maps (Able to download 25 miles radius for use w/o internet)
-Auto Sleeper Auto Power ON-OFF (Goes into sleep when power is not detected, wakes up when power is detected)

Apps I Am Working On

-Torque
-SDR Touch (Physical USB Radio Antenna for use w/o internet)

 

Wow, that tablet in the dash looks awesome, adds a ton of functionality too.

If you get a MiFi hotspot in your truck, you could do EVERYTHING in there.

 

I cleaned up my headlights. I did a light wet sand 2500 grit and then hit it with some wolfgang compound with a orange pad on my griots. Came out pretty good. Most likely do a better job on them when the weather cools down here in San Antonio.

Also there was some paint transfer on the bumper from previous owner. I used a orange pad and menzerna 3in1.

What I started with



After wet sanding


After compound

 

5.5 is an extra glove box

would an XL have came in scab 5.5'? can't recall ever hearing of one, but then again they're so rare in general

 

Yea something I'm considering

 

Headlights came out pretty nice -- yellowed headlights make a vehicle look worn-out and tired -- big improvement.....

I got a new jack and stands. 3ton jack and 6 ton stands. I only had a 1.5 jack and 3 ton stands.

 

Yesterday I ...
Did a full synthetic oil change
Cleaned throttle body and MAF sensor
Swapped out the rear brakes
Cleaned battery terminals.
Today I washed it in the driveway looking over my shoulder the whole time. Dwp patrolls like the popo.

 

no 8' beds in a crew cab.
