Trust me, none of my projects go smoothly, if I’m not doing it twice, I feel weird lol.y 6.5 kickers wouldn’t fit without a lot of trimming. Overall it wasn’t that big of a deal, just an annoyance

Same. I seriously need to upgrade later. Yours is looking great! And it’s not helping me be patient lol
The good thing about my bass package at least is that sub + amp is a banger..... But similar to dubs these are power hungry and kinda require the big 3 upgrade to really THUMP

Gunna go ahead and do the big 3, i got the new terminals for it and why not. I have a feeling its going to lead me to the H.O. alt. upgrade lol but one step at a time. After i finish installing the speakers ill see how much 1/0 and 4 gauge OFC i have left hopefully wont have to buy any more

Finally finished sound upgrade and I'm super happy with everything. After fine tuning my equalizer and gains the system sounds perfect for me, real happy.
And once again weathertech for the win! Lol the rear mat covers up the backs of the amps for some extra added peace of mind from the kids back there.
Spent a lot of time making sure all the wires were as tucked away as I was willing to get em.
Very pleased by the budget friendly fosgates as well 4f7cc50ed86ba0f0bedacebe2af46638.jpgc79add386e8d82b7d84d5734b84cfeb2.jpgc1169088937c91343f4368db9d716763.jpg1b3f87dfaa2dd3f6191ba7b58229c899.jpg

Ordered more paint for the handles and mirrors and a few other pieces because i just realized i do not have as much as i thought, i ordered enough (i hope o_O) to be able to finally correctly paint my roll bar, but that will definitely not be soon lol to lazy to pull that out and sand it all down to metal again so thatll be a future project

Just picked up the rear bumper from the powder coaters and they did a really good job, perfectly uniform and even coating.
unfortunately the baby has a 6 hour tournament this weekend along with it being the ball and chains birthday weekend.... not gunna have time to do any projects, but makes me happy to have it at least

Lol! Man I'm telling you her face when she broke the news to me about the dent still cracks me up thinking about it. It was so dang funny I actually wasn't even mad. Today I sent her the pic of the new bumper when I picked it up and said "gunna look a lot better then my dented chrome junker" and she replied and I quote "HEY, that dented chrome junker has my love mark on it, it's one of a kind." yeah one of a kind junker haha

Getting the rear bumper put together and on now. These carriage bolts are a joke!
