Hamm0ckjames Posted August 21, 2019 Author Share Posted August 21, 2019 Digital photos used to be simple back when cameras were all landscape-oriented. But when they moved to portrait-oriented phones, everything got screwy. The phone tries to figure out what you intend, based on its tilt sensor, and it may re-orient the pic as it saves it. But it may ALSO add an attribute to the file telling other systems how to orient the pic. But not all of those systems interpret that attribute the same, and some don't even read it. Older versions of MS Paint didn't save that attribute (because it hadn't been invented) so that's why MSP is usually a good tool to get them turned the way you want (as long as you're NOT using the latest version). But if you're editing the pic on a tablet, you have to pay attention to which way the tablet thinks IT'S tilted, because that might affect the way it writes the rotation attribute to the file. So by the time it gets uploaded, it can be turned again. That's another reason I only browse the forums on a desktop. Anyway... Look for some C-pillar trims that contain speakers, and try to swap them in (painting them to match if necessary). I'm not sure what years interchange on pickups in general, or X-cabs specifically. Thanks Steve83, I went back and looked at the pictures in this tablet and they are right side up. So I'm not sure what happened, my wife bought me this thing and I still haven't figured out what all it can do. Ain't nothing simple any more,,,,,,lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ain't nothing simple any more,,,,,,lol When you look at a picture on a computer the software you are using will usually rotate the pic properly for you to see it. BUT, if you don't save the file it is still the way it was prior to looking at it. So I save the file and 99 times out of 100 it is now correct for the forum.

Finally made it to Wally World, picked up a pair of Pioneer 6.25 speakers on sale. Also bought a Kenwood "Audio Media Player online. Which means it has no CD player, but for$45.00 I won't complain. So then I removed the bottom portion of the back seat and removed the first plastic panel at the door jamb. Yes there is reinforcement panel underneath. So I used an air recip-saw after marking the holes, I cut the circular hole for the speaker on each side. I had already ran the wires for the back speakers and installed the door speakers. Changing it the radio was a snap. Thought I would share some pictures with y'all, the radio plays a USB drive, which I have already loaded with some good old 80's rock and some Pink Floyd. It sounds great, I think it will work out well,,,,, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
