Popular Post Toothpick Posted January 29, 2019 Popular Post Report Posted January 29, 2019 I’ve got an old beater truck that I put new speakers in. Today I made speaker covers. Sketched it out in about 2 minutes. Spent about 10 cutting it out. Another 2 screwing them on. Badda bing. Speakers are protected! Literally did not care what they looked like since it’s an old beater - 1997 Ford Ranger. I’m the only one that drives it and it’s got a few other cosmetic issues. It’s just my “fun” truck do anything to truck. My goal was to get them cut and put on as quickly as I could. New Pioneer speakers and stereo are LOUD! spotsdad, MTCowpoke22, frankorona and 8 others 11 Quote
Scrappile Posted January 29, 2019 Report Posted January 29, 2019 Okay, finish, take them off, paint flat black.... Then it will work. Quote
Jim McDonald Posted January 29, 2019 Report Posted January 29, 2019 Just spray some outdoor grade poly on them and rock on! Sold a lot of Pioneer back in the 70s and 80s. The SuperTuner was a very sensitive radio with good filters. Quote
Tomanydogs Posted January 30, 2019 Report Posted January 30, 2019 What a great idea. Well done. Quote
Rockytime Posted January 30, 2019 Report Posted January 30, 2019 I just wish I had my old Ranger. Best little truck ever! Oh by the way, good job on the speaker covers. danny 1 Quote
Toothpick Posted January 30, 2019 Author Report Posted January 30, 2019 Yeah, maybe some spray paint would take it up a notch. I have some Orange colored spray paint jerrye and Ivan Nikolaev 2 Quote
daveww1 Posted January 30, 2019 Report Posted January 30, 2019 I love my 2010 Ranger, I bought it new and it's been a very good truck. I just replaced the original battery, it lasted for 9 years. The speaker covers should be painted to match the interior. Quote
stevan Posted January 30, 2019 Report Posted January 30, 2019 Your truck has a lot of character! Quote

Toothpick Posted January 31, 2019 Author Report Posted January 31, 2019 I might do Orange just to be different. Different and uglier jerrye 1 Quote
wombatie Posted February 1, 2019 Report Posted February 1, 2019 At least it does the job you wanted it for, just don't tell anyone who get in the truck that you made them Marg Quote
Toothpick Posted February 1, 2019 Author Report Posted February 1, 2019 So here’s a funny story. All happened within about 5 seconds. I pull up at work today and I have to scan my badge to open the gate. It’s dark at 5am still. Crank windows right...well I try to roll down and it won’t move. “Hmm darn beater, guess the window is stuck now”. So I try a bit harder and *CRUNCH* “OH WHAT THE HECK WAS THAT?!...hmmm window rolls down just fine. And back up just fine? That was weird. I guess it fixed itsel...... Ohhhhhhhh yeahhhhhh” Guess this was a sign to make a better one! Quote
dgman Posted February 1, 2019 Report Posted February 1, 2019 I guess karma was telling you something! Quote
