Thanks guys....I may have gone back to my 12 valve roots. Will know more tonight.

Been tinkering with the truck the last few weeks but also working a bunch.

Started messing around with a better stereo setup in it a few weeks back. Trying to keep it super simple and clean, you can tell that is kind of how I roll by now

I took the back corner pieces apart and cut some giant holes in them. I wanted a custom looking setup and have some interest in wood working and making some bucks.

I built a male and female buck that I could put in my press and press my own speaker grilles to exactly fit the holes I cut without any mounts or screws to show. Kind of OEM looking.

Took a couple tries but I got it to work out.



This started out as a flat sheet.



Hertz 6.5" rear mounted, grilled painted brown to match the seat brackets and harness bar as well..



Installed in the truck.



I went with the retrosound head unit, looks factory but performs really well. Bluetooth, a couple of aux inputs and about anything else under the sun.

Sounds good. I have some 5" separates I am going to do in the kicks when I get some more motivation.



Got this guy and the harnesses installed as well. The seat is surprisingly comfortable and harnesses really hold you in there.



Went through and topped off all the fluids and did the nut and bolt go around on the truck last night. Clean it up and load up all my stuff tomorrow and hit the road.

Take off here on Thursday morning headed for Vegas.

Cross your fingers I make it there =)
