August 27, 201114 yr Author Engine swap? slap a v8 to that thing! And Exhaust!V8 swapPlanning on it after I finish everything No loud exhaust thoughThat's right!!!! Takes away from the audio!!Thanks for the link! A Turbo 4.3 could be fun as well lolThe front end is done! I'm going to take a few pictures when I get to the truck. Next thing is the front stage & rear end gear.
September 10, 201114 yr Author So I forgot to take pictures of the front end.. fail, but I got this teaser picture
October 21, 201113 yr Author As some know my truck was broken into and everything but a bruised up box and frayed wire was stolen. The shop that it was at treated the truck like SHIT, there was over spray ALLLLL over along with scratches, scuffs, dents, popped tire, parts missing.. it was a fucking nightmare.All that is over now, and it's time to rebuild and restore. Cell phone pictures*I started with gutting the truck and vacuuming the carpet.Then I took a clay bar to the paint and got the green over spray off.Then continued on detailing the truck with my father, he owned a couple detailing shops for 30+ years.It came out pretty well too.Then I started to redo my door panels.Here is the equipment I have for the new front stage.SAX 100.4, SAX 125.2, Seas Prestige tweeters, Pioneer AVH-P5200BT, AA 7" Carbon Fiber Mids.Stay Tuned for More!!
October 21, 201113 yr Glad you're still building. Good luck with everything, hope something comes along in your favor sometime soon.
October 21, 201113 yr looking good man. shitty to hear about the crap shop but at least you're not letting it keep you down
October 21, 201113 yr Author Seeing the truck like that hurt so I'm trying to recover fast. As soon as I seen it ripped apart I wanted to start putting it back together.
October 21, 201113 yr Sucked to see about the break in, but glad to see you moving along with the rebuild on this. Bring her back even nastier!!
October 21, 201113 yr Damn you got new components quick! Looking forward to your build. If you don't mind me asking, why did you ever take it to the shop? It seems like you have the skill to do it all yourself.

October 21, 201113 yr Keep it up bro! I know once is done, you will feel better and this will probably be better as you will fix any mistake you made before (if any).Tuned
October 21, 201113 yr No doubt this build is gonna be nasty, tuned in!! Thumbs up for getting right back into it so quick!!
October 21, 201113 yr So what all did they steal. Just the subs and 3500d? Seems like that's all the same front stage you already had.
October 21, 201113 yr So what all did they steal. Just the subs and 3500d? Seems like that's all the same front stage you already had.Same thing I was thinking, what you said along with the radio.
October 21, 201113 yr So what all did they steal. Just the subs and 3500d? Seems like that's all the same front stage you already had.I thought he had 2 3.5k, they got some AA mids as well maybe his tweets.I like your use of "just" haha
October 21, 201113 yr Author They stole my 3500s, 100.4, Smds, aa mids, alpine head unit, d3100s, 4 gauge power wire, inline fuse holders with 300a fuse, and I believe thats it
October 21, 201113 yr oh so those are the boxes from the old AA carbons. seemed too fast to order, ship, recieve new ones.
October 21, 201113 yr Author oh so those are the boxes from the old AA carbons. seemed too fast to order, ship, recieve new ones.I had 8 AA mids all together. 4 were in the truck when it was broken into. I had a 100.4 & 125.2 in the mail, they arrived days after the break in.
October 21, 201113 yr Author The 16$ special from Wal-mart My girl is selling her car so I went out last night and removed the system for her and she let me have her power wire sense they stole mine, she also gave me a set of RCAs. My boy Justin (SuicideKing602) got me a wiring harness for my truck, so today i'm going to roll over to the shop n grab that up. Once I have that I can start installing this head unit, it'll be my first flip out so i'm pretty excited to see how it works out.
October 21, 201113 yr Author Damn you got new components quick! Looking forward to your build. If you don't mind me asking, why did you ever take it to the shop? It seems like you have the skill to do it all yourself.I didn't have to spare time to build the doors myself with work coming up. The first time I bring my truck to a shop to get something done everything gets jacked... Oh well though.. no sense dwelling on the past. I'm just waiting for the day I go to a show and see my equipment, it's a wrap. I'm taking the whole car lol
October 24, 201113 yr Author I've been thinking.. and my goal with the substage is to break 160db or my windshield, whatever comes first.16v electrical, 4 15s walled off, 15-20k.
