Figured I'd start myself a build thread. I have a HUGE grocery list of things I'm going to do to this rig. It's a large enough list that I had to enter everything into an Excel document just so I can remember everything I've thought of
As I do more and more things...I'll post up pics.
ALL THUMBS ARE CLICKABLE
First mod was to remove those stock running boards...
From there it begins slow and boring with some interior sound deadening that I wanted to get out of the way before I started running wire & cable for the sound system and aux panels:
Fatmat on the rear cargo floor and quarters. This will eventually run all the way under the front & rear seats to the dash, inside all 5 doors, and also the upper rear quarters. I'm also applying the deadener on the inside of the rear plastic panels and will also line them with a thin insulation material.
I also picked up a Kenwood DDX-616 HU and for now installed it with both PAC-TATO & PAC-SWI adapters (to work with the JBL amp & to keep steering wheel controls). I'll eventually be pulling out the rest of the stock system, replacing the speakers, and adding a 5 channel amp which at that point I'll pull out the TATO adapter.
