It's a little small but it does the trick... Can't complain for the price.
And yes...

Installed 4 speakers, 1 in each door today. Still using the stock tweeters and center speaker for now. My Expy non-b&o has stock tweeters in the back doors & stock tweeters in the front A pillar. Sounds a lot better but now it’s the stock equalizer that’s limiting the sound. I did use Forscan to disable the factory equalizer limiter too.
Yes, the factory speakers are rated 25 watts RMS

Here are a couple pics. I use Yakima Jetstream crossbars, so this may not help you if you have OEM.
Measurements tomorrow @AKentPhoto

Readylift 3/2 complete! Like a newb, I bought my wheels/tires before doing the lift, so my tires are stock 32" size at 275/65/18. Once I wear these out, I guess i'll start looking at 33s or 34s.

You need 35s, fit great with 3/2

Thanks! My salesman didn't tell me I had to order crossbars. Crazy that is an option for what these things go for. Insanity really...
So I got a set of Thule equivalent of what you have...
Curious if you considered which side to go with? I see most people go with it on the driver's side but I'm thinking I might go with passenger. Is there something I'm missing about keeping it on the driver's side? It is definitely the most popular.

Well you are just going to rock the lifted look for a year... Definitely makes the lift more noticeable, which is also a plus. I'd say 34s or 35s... The raptor tires are a nice schmedium. Pretty sure they are 34.2 or 34.4...
It also gives you time to trim the steps and apply the Matt Mod ie zipties to the rear liners.
True overlanders usually put it to the passenger side. When they pull off the road or trail it doesn’t stick out into traffic. I put mine on the drivers side because at the boat ramp you can’t pull of the road or ramp. Drivers side is the only usable option. At the dunes I can park to make it work either side. But if I have the RV as well they both can be facing the same direction and we can put both awnings out to make one big patch of shade.

Bought it then got windows tinted and pillar wrapped. Debating on doing the ready lift but not sure I want to lose the smooth ride. Definitely getting different wheels and more agressive tires for winter.

Passenger side would be more likely to hit on low branches, etc. while driving. Probably not an issue, but it is worth considering.

Had to make some new brackets to fit over the wide Thule bars I but got my tent mounted up today. If the weather cooperates this weekend I want to give it a scrub down since it has been in storage over a year. Will probably have to make some new holes in the ladder since it's no longer at truck bed height. Now to find the walls.... 
Noise is almost non-existent to 65 then it's manageable, I haven't sat in the back seat but up front it's nothing some tunes wouldn't handle. Around town there is a slight down draft when the sunroof is open but it's silent and honestly kind of nice...

Continued the war on chrome with some 3M 2080 vinyl tape. Got the window trim all around plus door inserts.

Good looks here. As for the Readylift you’ll definitely get a more stiff ride And it will suck your tires into the wheel wells more which will then make you want wider tires. Here’s my 16 with readylift, 35s, and 1.25” bora spacers to push the tires out where they should be. Rather stiff ride but looks good as sh-t!

Yea not sure yet it has the ccd suspension some have said it doesnt change the ride at all others said stiffen it up a little. Might just go with some 18" wheels with 33" tires.

I’m looking at 20” wheels and 33” tires, but not until next year.
I spent the money upgrading my nome network to accommodate all 4 family members working/schooling from home this year.

Got annoyed it had halogen bulbs in reverse and license plate lights when the rest is led so swapped it out for something brighter. Can definitely see in reverse now through the tint lol.

What bulbs are the reverse? Also, were they hard to swap out?
I’m not sure if my 303a has LED or halogen for reverse.
I already swapped out the plate lights. I had to get the 360 bulbs due to how they are positioned in the housing.

Finally replaced the sad 4" screen with an 8" touch version. 100% improvement; should have done it right away.

The GTR ultra 2 reverse lights from headlight revolutions. Pretty simple to swap out you pop the cover off the back right where the liftgate shocks are then unbolt 2 screws. The light pops out pretty easy pop the new bulbs into the rubber gromit and make sure its in right. Before you bolt it up check it because one wasnt working so they must have a polarity I turned it around and it fired right up.
