I need to stop putting this off. I'm just intimidated and a bit overwhelmed. I guess I'm still butt hurt over flipping my car and losing all that hard work. I went out to my truck today and stared at it for about 20min. 

 

But I free aired the 18 today and played with my new HU, kinda got me excited a little. I have no problems with running the wire, putting the HU in, running comps batts ect. But no clue where to start on this wall lol.

Yes sir. You just need the I-bar mounts to set it up for side terminals. I ordered these.

^ sweet, thanks

 

I hate side posts....Was thinking of just converting it to top, just cut off old ends and put ring terminals on?

 

Edit: or do those posts you showed let you connect the stock stuff to the side and everything else on top?

The second part is correct, That's why I got them. Gives you two connection points besides the stock location.

Do floor first then sides, then top, then front baffle, and then back last. Metal bracing like 90* metal pieces in the corners..

I am incredibly excited about seeing this build as I am planning something very similar in a Touareg.

[KyleBrown 121]

 

Here's a small update. Pulled the stock battery to drop my D3400 in. Had to mod the battery tray. Pain in the ass using dremel cutting wheels lol. Repainted it. I went to start my big three and just getting ready to start running wire in general. Well couldn't find my hammer, roommate moved it and didn't tell me. Took almost an hour to find. I was pissed. I ended up breaking my hammer crimper once I found it. Got one crimp.... I didn't like the diyma 0ga terminals really... I also pulled the front differential actuator while the battery was out, to hopefully find my 4wd issue and I did. 

 

 

Stock

 

Decent size difference. 

 

Modding the tray

 

Took way too long with a dremel tool...

 

Nice fit

 

That's why it won't lock in

 

I'm feeling my motivation come back lol.

im jealous of the lack of snow in your pics

[KyleBrown 121]

But we have heat lol.

 

I tried putting the HU in tonight. The kit was allllllllllll wrong. 

[16K 159]

Yawn lets see some pics of actually building

[KyleBrown 121]

I got under the truck, cleaned/scraped the frame treated with the rust/paint shit and it looks way fawking better. Painted the receiver hitch, tail pipe and bomb canned the finder wells. I can say it looks way better. Still gotta do the spare tire mount and get the whole truck painted but oh well. 

 

 

yuk

 

 

Fender flares and all that jazz too....

 

 

 

Saturday, I should be able to get the HU in finally. Just going to cut up the factory dash bezel for now. Spent my extra monies on ordering an mechman elite 370a alt. 

 

10 ton crimpers should be here tomorrow. So back to wiring

 

Next weekend the blazer should be getting some wood.

[KyleBrown 121]
