Within first week of purchase:
Added CD player since my truck didn't have one stock:
(Unfortunate ricer stage) Added blue underglow and grille LEDs:
switches to control the underbody and interior lights..
Added 2 12" Kenwood subs with ~1400W autotek [originally Sony XPLOD amp ~800W] going to them in a sealed custom box. Also included blue cold cathodes inside the box and under the dash and seats (no pics of them, used to have some but cant find em):
Installed new 6.5" Kenwood door speakers:
Back to Top!
Added carpet bedliner...still going strong ~8 years later!:
Removed underbody and grille LEDs a few months after installing them...
Installed this in place of stock muffler and dumped right after (no visible exhaust):
Lowered truck 3/4:
old pic of me with truck after lowering
Snorkel mod! :
Back to Top!
And then the modding stopped.....
Okay so it slowed to a trickle....
Good times were still had though, Blue Springs meet in July 2006:
Removed the interior blue lighting.
a few months after that I removed and sold my system.
Removed and sold stock tow hitch
Developed a concept for what I wanted to do with my truck (included bagging/SFBD/20" wheels/choppedtop/custom paint):
Needless to say plans have changed though I still like the paint idea...
~3 years after purchasing and 1.5 years from last mod:
Installed new CD player:
~1 year after CD Player installed new system: 12" Kicker CVR 800W mono amp in custom box
(Pic is not from when it was first installed)
~1 or 2 years after CD player I installed the Supermod PTB and supersparks!
Back to Top!
~3 years after CD Player
Installed AEM intake:
Can't find any pics though I know I took some.. :/
Installed black carpet in the cab OVER TOP of the stock vinyl:
Installed Xtreme 18's:
Got these in December:
And just last week got the truck back from the bodyshop with new Goodmark cowl hood, Spec-d projectors, and corner lights:
Back to Top!
Well guys over the last week I have made a bit of progress. I was able to install my LED license plate lights, put 35w 5000k HIDs in for my lows, and painted/dyed my H3 cloth buckets (they were tan) which are going in tomorrow!
LEDs/Halos no flash
LEDs/Halos with HID lows on:
License plate LEDs:
H3 seats, you can see overspray but I promise it is only because of the flash, they are a nice dark black around the sides even in direct sun:
Got my new header and head studs installed!
Added Belltech F/R Anti-sway bars to the mix, what a difference!
Sadly I couldn't really get a good pic of the swaybars with the truck only on floor jack/jack stands
Front
Rear
Added chrome gauge bezels, LED cluster, and white needles:
KR Fabs low pro transmission crossmember - this thing is sweet. Pics soon.
SFAN4500 EFAN - freaking AWESOME!
Checkmate Flush mount tonneau cover
Guess it ended up not being as short as I thought it was...
