Hey man! You did a build thread! Totally awesome! Very cool to see how far it has come.


And I've already said it many times, Lol! But it was awesome to be able to see your truck out at TMS! ;)

Thanks Rango and Stealth I am the one that is grateful - you got some great shots of me driving on TMS, an experience I will never forget. May try to do it again next year, but will never replace the first time.

hahahaha - nice! I have not found one that would fit my theme LOL, maybe Class 8 since it is black and white.

Hazmat refers to my job - I am an Instructor for an Environmental Emergency Response and Remediation Company have been in the ER services for over 30 years.

Thank You!

It was good for what I wanted, not a real "thumper" but gave a good tone that I enjoyed. Only a 10" with 200W behind it, the wife did not like it so I had an on/off for the amp for when she rode with me.

Main reason for changing was the speaker section was too wide and did not allow the seats to tilt forward - planning error.

No subs now, but the new console is leather FTW . . . going to change it to black and red leather when I can get the materials.

Thanks guys - Stealth, just wait until you see the embroidered section laid out.

Getting ready to lay one of the side down . . . waiting on the contact cement to set a little.
