Homeland is old Polk County—a quiet historic settlement along US 17 south of Bartow, where the Homeland Heritage Park still keeps the one-room schoolhouse and pioneer cabins standing, and where ranch land, pickup trucks, and Peace River weekends set the pace of life. Out here vehicles earn their keep, and when Homeland drivers want the job done right, Tunes-N-Tint is a straight run north up US 17 and Highway 98 to our Lakeland shop. It is worth the short drive: one experienced crew, clean installs, and honest advice covering everything from serious truck builds to premium audio and heat-blocking window tint—no need to scatter the work across three different shops.

Truck and ranch builds for Homeland’s working vehicles
Homeland runs on trucks that pull trailers, haul feed, and hit the backroads, and we build them to handle it. Start with truck lifts for clearance and stance, protect the bed with spray-on bedliners and truck bed covers, add step bars for easier access, and round it out with the full range of truck accessories. Then layer in car audio, powersports audio for ATVs and side-by-sides, window tint against the Central Florida sun, and a remote starter so the cab is cool before you climb in.
Audio, tint, security, and interiors done right
Homeland’s Peace River fishing trips and open-road drives deserve great sound, so we install JL Audio, Alpine, Kicker, Kenwood, Pioneer, and Rockford Fosgate gear, plus marine audio for the boat. Keep your ride protected with vehicle security and Viper systems, drive smarter with driver safety tech and mobile video, and light the way with vehicle lighting. Inside, upgrade to Katzkin leather, custom leather upgrades, and fresh upholstery.

Homeland Car Audio, Window Tint & Vehicle Customization FAQ
Why is it worth the drive from Homeland to Lakeland for vehicle customization?
Homeland sits about 20 miles south of our Lakeland shop, a straight and familiar run of roughly 30 minutes up US 17 through Bartow and onto Highway 98. That short drive gets you one experienced crew under one roof instead of scattering a lifted-truck build, marine audio for Peace River weekends, and heat-blocking window tint across three different shops. Out here in old Polk County ranch country, doing it once and doing it right makes the trip north well worth it.
What car audio brands do you install for Homeland customers?
We stock and install JL Audio, Alpine, Kicker, Kenwood, Pioneer, and Rockford Fosgate, each tuned for clarity and punch whether you are running US 17 to work or cruising the backroads around Homeland. Every brand has its loyal following, and our installers will match the right car audio system to your truck, your music, and your budget.
What does Florida law say about window tint darkness?
Florida allows 28% VLT (visible light transmittance) on your front side windows, 15% on the rear side and back windows, and a non-reflective strip across the top of the windshield. We install window tint, including 3M window film, that keeps you legal while cutting the Central Florida heat that bakes a cab parked out on the ranch or at Homeland Heritage Park. You stay cooler, your interior lasts longer, and there is no glare on the drive up US 17.
Which nearby towns do you serve from the Lakeland shop?
We are the one-stop shop for drivers all across southern Polk County: Bartow just up the road, plus Mulberry, Highland City, Lakeland Highlands, Fort Meade, and Lake Wales. From the historic communities along US 17 to the ranches and lake roads, it is the same crew and the same standard of work whether you are stopping in on the way to town or making Lakeland the destination.
How do I get a free quote for my truck or vehicle?
Call or text us at (863) 614-1164 to talk through your project, or stop by 4980 US Highway 98 N, Lakeland, FL 33809. We are open Monday through Friday, 9 AM to 6 PM, and it is an easy 30-minute run north from Homeland up US 17. You will get honest advice and a no-pressure quote covering anything from a lift kit to a full audio and interior build.
Do you handle serious truck builds for Homeland’s working vehicles?
Every day. Lift kits, spray-on bedliners, bed covers, step bars, and full truck accessory builds are core work here, exactly what Homeland’s feed-hauling, trailer-pulling trucks need. Our custom fabrication crew handles the specialty work and factory radio retention, so you drive back down US 17 with a truck that is ready for ranch and road.
Can you install quality audio on boats for Peace River trips?
Yes. Marine audio is built to shrug off water, spray, and relentless Florida sun, with weatherproof speakers, marine-grade amplifiers, and corrosion-resistant wiring, plus premium Wet Sounds gear when you want serious output on the water. Whether you launch on the Peace River or trailer over to a Polk County lake, we will tune a system that sounds right from the dock to the middle of the channel.
What remote starters work best for Homeland summers?
Remote starters let you cool the cab before you climb in on a blazing Homeland afternoon, with no more grabbing a steering wheel that has been baking in the sun. We install systems that run reliably in Central Florida heat and integrate cleanly with your factory settings, so your truck is comfortable the moment you leave the house for the drive to Bartow or the grove.
Can you wrap or letter a work truck for my Homeland ranch or business?
Absolutely. Whether you want to letter a work truck for your Homeland ranch or business, add a full color-change wrap, or run custom striping, our vehicle graphics and wraps team uses 3M wrap films for a clean, durable finish that holds up to the Florida sun. It is a sharp way to turn a working truck into rolling advertising or simply make your ride stand out on US 17.
What vehicle security systems do you recommend for trucks?
We install Viper and other top vehicle security systems that give you alarm protection, remote lock and unlock, and GPS tracking. For trucks and equipment parked out on Homeland properties and ranches across southern Polk County, that is real peace of mind, knowing your vehicle is watched over around the clock whether it is in the yard or down by the river.
Can you upgrade truck interiors with leather and premium seating?
Absolutely. Katzkin leather, custom leather upgrades, and fresh upholstery turn a hard-working truck into a comfortable ride for long Central Florida commutes and weekend trips. We match your style and budget, from rugged, easy-clean durability that handles ranch dust to full luxury comfort.
Do you install LED lighting on trucks and ATVs?
Yes. LED vehicle lighting brightens your way on dark Homeland backroads and trails while adding real style, from light bars and rock lights to headlight upgrades and custom accent lighting, all wired professionally. Whether it is a truck, an ATV, or a side-by-side, we do it right so it holds up to mud, dust, and daily use.
Can you detail my truck after the ranch roads and river trips?
We do. Our auto detailing service brings a truck back to life after the grove roads, ranch dust, and Peace River launches take their toll, inside and out, wheels to headliner. It is the perfect finishing touch after a build, or a standalone refresh to keep your Homeland daily driver looking sharp for the drive into town.
Can you install audio systems on side-by-sides and UTVs for trail riding?
Powersports audio is engineered for ATVs, UTVs, and side-by-sides, weatherproof, vibration-resistant, and tuned to survive the dust and mud of Homeland’s trails and ranch land. We choose systems that deliver clear sound without draining your battery, so a day on the backroads or out in the pastures comes with the soundtrack it deserves.
Do you do motorcycle audio and lighting for Homeland riders?
We do. Motorcycle audio and lighting is a specialty, and we install HogPlay systems built to push clean sound over wind and highway noise. From baggers to cruisers, Homeland riders get weatherproof audio and custom lighting that hold up to Florida sun and the open roads down through southern Polk County.
What sets Tunes-N-Tint apart from other shops in the region?
We are a top-tier rated shop, a Mobile Electronics Top 50 Retailer for over 20 years, and a Best of Central Florida winner in 2025 and 2026. But beyond the accolades, we are the crew that understands Homeland’s ranching and working-truck culture and builds systems that actually get used, not just installed. One shop, one experienced team, one standard of quality, worth the short drive up US 17.
