Had to replace my battery of 7 years on Thursday as it wouldn't start when I went to try to leave for work. Wow does the truck have so much more cranking power now. I can notice a difference on the turn over. Sounds much stronger.

Got them installed today. Now I just need to order the rest of the stuff to finish up the front bumper so I can get it painted.

same ones I used to run, better get HIDs for these if you wana see at night, you will want a 4300k for that, blue light is already bad for the human eye, but on a smoked lens it has even less visibility

not sure if I posted the setup for the red truck, but here is the first bezel Im trying for it, I have a few other bezels laying around that I may use instead but this was just one I had an idea with for my daily, and a pic of the double din that I bought two of, they have nav and every feature I could ever want!

Just picked up a kenwood ddx9903 last week for my 2005. Waiting to get my dash kit back from my boss. I have it to him to hydro dip. Is that the metra kit you used?

Wide enough? Are the pioneers wider than normal?


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

nope, but one of my pioneer DDs wouldn't fit it and another one would, so they obviously built their tolerance very low for that kit

no problem, def make sure it fits properly



I placed the dash kit up to the kenwood today and it has a gap all the way around the face but I think it won't be a bit deal because it's a motorized face

the gap is what you want, mine the face hits on the sides, at least on 2 of the 3 pioneers
