Default 1st Start
now we ALL love 1st starts !! well here is how it went down ...

1st off it fired up and ran perfectly right off the bat (no lie), BUT someone forgot to plug an oil galley in the back of the block and oil went EVERYWHERE !!! LOL

Other than that I could not be more happy, this thing is running perfectly
BIG thanks to Paul that did a great job on building the motor and putting everything together with me

Truck is looking great, I love all the little details.
I tried looking back a few pages but didn’t see it, what head unit are you using?

Thats the Sony XAV-AX100

Ok guys, so got all the stereo components hooked up temporarily yesterday and I have to say that this may be the best sounding system I've ever put together. Absolutely crystal clear, extremely precise and punchy and NOT boomy whatsoever ... and wow LOUD if you want.

Here is the list of items I'm using
Sony XAV-AX100
JL Audio JX360/4 amp (JL replaced now with RD400/4)
NVX QBUS8v2 8" powered sub under passenger seat, WOW for the $$ this thing is amazing !!
https://www.sonicelectronix.com/item...Amplifier.html

And these speakers ... I cannot say enough about these, if you like rock then these are for you

infinity KAPPA 693.11i 6x9

https://www.ebay.com/itm/Original-in...8AAOSwnw9aC0kM

Infinity Kappa 60.11cs 6 1/2" in the kick panels

https://www.ebay.com/itm/Infinity-Ka...IAAOSwXRxauSGA

Should be completed by this weekend !!

Cheers
Steve

This thing turned out awesome! Which SEMA booth can we check it out in? Seriously, be much more of a draw than another lifted JK/JL.
